“This holiday home makes a strong impression, though the 4 pm check-in alongside the 10 am checkout seems a little rushed. I noted that some guests experienced a slight mismatch between the instructions and the door lock, so that's worth checking. Overall, it's an impressive experience with a couple of easily addressed details.”
