Other things to note We want to make sure your check-in goes smoothly, so we recommend checking out the "Check-In Instructions" section of our Airbnb listing before you arrive. We've found that most check-in issues are due to small errors, such as entering the code in the lockbox instead of the smart lock or not waiting long enough for the smart lock to reset. So double-check those instructions and you should be good to go! Of course, if you do run into any problems during check-in, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'll do our best to help you out. Just keep in mind that if you check-in after 10pm and run into issues, we may not be able to help you until the next morning. So, make sure to arrive on time to avoid any unnecessary stress.
