Its been a while since we have rented an AirBnb that was a basement suite and we did notice a bit of noise from upstairs (would end at midnight). It wasn't super disruptive and I just put the oven fan on for some white noise. The location is fabulous. The short walk to the playground/beach is about 5 min. The long walk is about 8 min (with a stop at the cafe for a coffee and breakfast muffin).It takes about 30 min to the airport, 30 min to downtown, 30 minutes to tourist destinations! The suite had everything we needed and we met the owners once and they were very friendly. We would def stay here again but we would bring a few beach toys for the next round!
