No advance instruction on how to check in, you have to ask through email for it. Garage was not available to use, several emails back & forth for the garage code but no avail. In other words the garage was not available for the duration of our stay. Never communicate w/ Evelyn, it was Tim who email me. The house was not so clean. Oven has tortilla inside, few batteries were on the floor, room was dusty (my son had an asthma attack when he slept on the bed) so I have to send his home. We were disappointed for the above concerns for the price we paid.
