Our host left instructions online as to how to retrieve the front door key from the lock box. It worked fine and we were able to leave the key back in the box when departing without having to involve the host. The home was near a street with traffic, but we heard no noise in the home at all. We had no problem finding parking on his street, often right in front of the home. Both the air conditioner in the front room and in the bedroom kept us comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and very clean as was the entire place. I would stay here again.
