Check in was easy and apartment was as pictured. The place has a fun vibe, with plenty of thoughtful details. I was spellbound by all the art work, and wanted to take it all back home with me. Shawn provides a guide book, with very helpful information. There is a large movie and music collection to look at, but no tv or cd player, so don't forget your laptop. He also has several books to keep you busy. The cat in the backyard was very welcoming. We only stayed one night, but we enjoyed it thoroughly
