Where the storage space actually is

Before you book, the listing shows the city and the area only. The map pin is snapped to a grid of about 300 metres, so it marks a surrounding area and not a building.

After the payment goes through, the street, the house number, the exact location inside the property — a floor or a unit number, for example — and the host's phone number open. All of these appear in the conversation about the listing.

It is worth agreeing in the conversation how and when you get in, particularly if access is not around the clock.
