You need your own Apple ID in order to use the TV. Their communication regarding this was terrible. I didn't have an Apple ID so the TV was unusable to me. I was there for over two weeks. It may be that I didn't read the description very closely but it was a surprise to realize that more than 6 people could be using the one bathroom, kitchen, etc. I chose this place because it was close to where I was visiting. Thought it was a little on the expensive side for being what it turned out to be.
