As others have mentioned, there’s some major construction work going on right outside the apartment window: which means lots of dust, yelling, banging, drilling, driving, the near-constant beeping of various reversing vehicles, and other noises (the TV set in the apartment downstairs, for instance) and smells (the gross bathroom stench emanating from the portable toilets in the courtyard, gasoline fumes, plenty of cigarette smoke etc.)—all of this all day long and starting at 7am.
The hosts were very nice, and communication was perfect. Staying in the middle of a construction site, however, was so unpleasant that we moved to stay with friends down the street after two nights. We were lucky to have that option.
