Super easy check in. We got a key code to use rather than having to carry around an actual key which I really liked. I know that it was a suite in the house but I didn't expect there to be a door directly heading into the house, we were able to hear her sometimes so I'm sure she heard us which really isn't that big of a deal. Nice area, about 15-20 minutes from downtown but the driveway was small and you had to back out onto a semi busy street. It got pretty hot at night and especially after showering each morning and getting ready, even when the ceiling fan going. Everything was super clean though, she had towels ready, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the shower, and the backyard seemed really great- it was raining so we just didn't get to enjoy it that much.
