The location distance was not mentioned until after the stay. Noting as VERY dark and extremely hard to get to. no lights. when we arrived, we couldn't find the lock box- very unclear instructions. the locks were hard to figure out. the description in the photo does not match what we experienced. we did not stay the second night as a result. very poor experience.
