The host did communicate where the lock box with the key would be placed, the only thing i didnt notice when booking is no tvs in the rooms, it would have been better if thats how you fall to sleep, also the bieghbors party bery loudly, so if your a light sleeper that may bother you, one thing that was a little annoying was the BNB was not well lit when i arrived at night, its a ceouded block so i pulled up to the house based on picture provided from bnb and pulled into thier drive way to unload and shine my light to be sure the address was correct, well once i stepped into the apt the host came thru a door in the common room are where the cameras are and said you cant park there my husband and don are coming home. Yhey need to park. To me it seemed kind or rude and intrusive, a trxt message would have sufficed being how that was how we communicated, instead she watched me park. Then waited to come to me in the apt. It felt creepy and intrusive and bordet linr rude, because of how she said it. I assured her it was a temporary park to unload then to proceed to find parking along the street. Other than the though of being watched like reality tv. The place was clean, other room mates were quiet, parking wasnt hard to find, if you just need some placr to sleep, this will do fine
