Checking in and getting the codes to work on the doors was a big hassle. The host was super nice and helpful even calling me late at night to help us get in. She was very communicative the whole weekend. There was a party next door to us, while that was out of her hands, it did make the second night less enjoyable. Mara was a good host!
