I was sent a link from the host that directed me in a different area 50 minutes from where I was staying. After getting the correct address and arriving to the place, I found out that my room was on the ground floor. You can hear activity from the street and people walking by, when inside your own room. But if you close the blinds it helps to cover some of the sound from the street. If you are on the ground floor next to the entrance, expect to hear the sounds from the door opening and closing, you will also hear other guests that walk through the halls to get to their rooms that they are staying in, inside the house. The Living/Kitchen/ and Bathrooms areas are all shared amongst the other guests. You are getting what you pay for. These rooms are private and cheaper than most. Sorry for the lengthy review, my stay there wasn’t bad. Try and request a room on the top floor if you can. Bring Ear plugs just in case. Have a great stay.
