It was my first experience with Airbnb and the first night in the apartmentmeent showed me the big disadvantage of Airbnb. The apartment itself is nice and meets up to the expectations. The problem was the noise from the wine bar right next door. Without ear plugs, to sleep before 3 AM Is impossible, and that for every night of the week. I made my reservation in dec 2015 and if you look at the feedback from Lisa & Gary in jan 2016 about the noise, you know what to expect.
Had this been a hotel, I would have asked for another room or checked out the next day.
This brings me to the system of stars in the reviews. In my opinion, the place I rent is to sleep, if that basic element is missing, I cannot understand why people rate this apartment with an average of 4,5 stars.
