This is super important as you won’t be able to access the property until you receive a message from the remote manager given you the access codes . I didn’t realize this and I only have WiFi so I didn’t see the message. Luckily after a few mins the manger happened to be outside and let me in but there is no traditional office or welcome desk . The property feels brand new . The beds are very comfortable and...
