I am rating an apartment that is not the one I booked (not the one you are looking at). Why? Dave has two apt and I communicated with him prior to booking the apartment because I wanted to ensure the apartment I booked had 4 beds. When I checked in, I realized we were in the other apartment, not the one I booked. Despite being a very cute apartment and well located, the reason why I booked the other apartment was the review - it should be silent. The one we ended up staying was not silent at all. I was traveling with my 2 small children and silence is important to us. After we had opened our suitcases, Dave offered to move us to the other apt but we didn’t want to pack again to move the next day. Intention might have been good but communicating it with the guest is key in my opinion.
The other disappointment still on the noise matter was that every time someone in the house flushes the toilet, uses the sink or shower, there is a super high pitched noise in the apartment. It was impossible to sleep well after early morning when people start using the water. So we slept very bad with the noise from the street and from this water tank/pump. I reported it to Dave so that other guests don’t go through the same.
Then he listed iron, washing machine and dryer. We were coming for a wedding, hence the iron was very important but there was none in the house as listed under the amenities and the washing machine/drier is paid on the other side of the street. I also told him he should change this from his list of amenities as it is misleading. We ended up getting the iron from a friend.
Overall, it could have been a great stay but we were tired from sleeping bad the 2 nights before the wedding due to the noise. I cannot rate this as a good experience. I am an experienced traveler, also with kids and never had a bad experience with Airbnb.
If you are not sensitive to noise, perfect. But remember, this apartment I am rating is not the one shown on the pictures.
