My husband and I rented the apartment for 2 weeks to have a vacation near our son, daughter in-law and grandson.
The apartment itself has a nice layout, was clean and had all the items we needed.
Unfortunately, the day after we arrived they began a massive renovation to the building which resulted in the drilling and demolition of the building's chimney which was located on the outside wall of the bedroom. The construction lasted days and shook the entire apartment with noises so loud that earplugs were required at times.Even then the noise was only diminished. Workers were also drilling scaffolding into the wall outside the apartment in the front during this period as well.
While we understand this work was not directly that of the homeowner, we would've appreciated a notice this renovation to the building was occurring (as the homeowner was aware in advance). This would've provided us an opportunity to find other accommodations in the area.
Unfortunately, during our stay there was also no heat available in the apartment and we were not notified before that there would be no heat in the apartment. The main lights in the apartment also stopped working during our stay.
So, while the apartment is nice, we believe the homeowner should provide a reasonable
warning to renters of massive known disturbances that may occur during their stay.
