The check in process was easy. I booked the room as a place to stay in the middle of my road trip from NJ to TX. I booked it on a Sunday for the next day. The listing was shortly accepted and detailed instructions were received for check in. Upon arrival (since it was dark), it was a bit odd as the cottage is located in the back of a house (although it is private and fenced off). I was able to follow the instructions to the unit and was pleasantly surprised. It was well organized, cute decor, clean and had snacks as an added bonus. Throughout the whole process, Rick was responsive and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone.
