The aux wire was definitely a MAJOR PLUS for us as we used it when we woke up in the AM to when we went to bed at night. The "self" check-in was great because I didn't feel pressured to be at the house on time to "meet and receive keys" from the host.
Maybe it was just the way I looked at the pictures but I assumed the place was bigger. But everything worked out fine! They even stopped by to say hello and was always a text/message away if we needed anything. Thanks for being an awesome host!
