"Incredible location easy accessibility to the property for many to come and go as they pleased having pins instead of keys was defiantly a bonus, The only issue was the lighting throughout the house we had a lot of issues turning lights on and off as they wouldn’t work on the wall or on the iPad so we spent a lot of time trying to figure that out."
