Overall a satisfactory experience. Issues with the following: 1. Front door: The combination system was not working as we expected. According to info received we simply need to enter the 10 digit code. This did not work. We did finally get it to work but without knowing what we did to make it work since we tried numerous ways. Same went for locking after we left. Instructions need to be reviewed; 2. TV: we were unable to figure out how to work the DVD player. No instructions were available; 3. One or two lamps were not working - maybe new bulbs required.
