I have traveled the world & this is my 14th time staying at an Airbnb, in addition to owning one myself. I feel that my review should be informative & honest to help future guests make good choices while being kind to the host whom let you stay in their home.
This is located in a great location for those who want to be able to walk around town & see the sights. It has lots of restaurants & coffee shops just down the street or around the corner. The city bus & the hop on hop off stop is just a couple blocks away.
However, it is located on a very busy street with lots of outdoor bars & restaurants. The bedroom & living room are on the street side of the building. The windows are old & there for very thin. You could hear all the people on the streets talking. You could heard their entire conversations. They partied at the bars & on the streets till 2am when the bars closed. Then everyone moved out into the streets and continued parting in the streets till around 4am. They also pick up trash during the night. So you heard the trash trucks driving up & down the street throughout the night. We are not light sleepers & noise usually doesn’t bother us much. But I need to be honest when I say the noise was really awful and kept us up most of the night. On our second & third nights we sleep with earplugs. We stayed Sun, Mon & Tue nights. I would hate to see what a Fri or Sat night is like. We did find out Monday morning that it was a Banker Monday & so a lot of people didn’t have to work the next day. This could explain some of the partying.
If you’re looking for a place to stay close to the party seen, this would be perfect.
Niall & Gavin were good hosts.
