Although a few things were in slight disrepair, it was a charming and well laid out unit & would have been very user friendly had it not been for the heat wave that descended for my entire stay. Any other circumstance would produce a very enjoyable stay, I'm certain. My host was absolutely correct in saying that its soundproof with windows shut, however thats impossible with the level of heat that can build during the day & no amount of strategic window opening/closing or blund pulling, or fan operations can alleviate heat in high temps even though it is safe to allow air to flow through during the day while out. No choice but to allow somewhat cool air in at night along with all the sirens, loud vehicles, shouting, etc that that brings. I slept an average of 4 hours per night (generous estimate). I want to be as fair as possible in my review so i will say that if you stay during moderate temperatures, im confident youll enjoy your accommodations. It is lovely in every other way but needs a bit of attention & cleaning
