The house was very cute and homey. Dennis and Molly put really thoughtful touches on the rooms (e.g. leaving treats and snacks). I also really appreciated that my dog was welcome in the home and there was a backyard and a front yard for her to explore.
The snafu/hangup here was security and the check-in. The check-in message indicated that the door would be unlocked which was a little strange to me. There was a lockbox on the door, but nothing in the welcome message or check-in description had the combination. I arrived and the door was locked. I was stuck outside for a bit, messaging/calling/texting. I was given instructions to find a hidden key that I needed to replace.
I inquired about the key to my room that was mentioned in the check-in description (especially since we were allegedly expected to just leave the front door unlocked), but was told that there was none since guests do a poor job of returning them.. I was assured that the other guests and the neighborhood were very nice and safe (thought I'm not sure how one would gauge that of strangers .. I, personally, never met the hosts in person.
When another guest arrived to the house and asked how he had a key and mentioned how bizarre it was that they just want us to leave everything unlocked with all of our personal belongings inside, he told me that HE received both a key to the front door and his individual room. He showed me where they came from and handed me keys to my room and the front door.
I'm not sure why I was lied to. My stuff was all okay, but the process/situation was just a little disconcerting.
Overall, a fine stay.
