The house was much bigger than expected which was great! It was a beautiful and safe old building unfortunately the remodel of the flooring was done very poorly and the laminate wood they put in sounded like a drum, so you could here every step everyone took upstairs. Which also meant the downstairs neighbors could also hear. We were greeted by a very sweet guy who explained that the owner doesn’t live there and he would be available to help, but when we messaged him after our neighbor left 3 notes saying the same thing pre typed ( I’m sure this is a standard note he leaves for the guests) saying this is an old building and to respect the neighbors by being quiet. We had literally just checked in. I have a 10 month and a 3 year old that were crawling and walking around by no means loud. The house said kid friendly, which included a cot and baby toys but no high chair. When I told the hosts contact this was very difficult to feed a baby with no chair he said he would try to get one but never did. After about an hour the downstairs neighbor came up and knocked on the door telling us if we weren’t more quiet we would need to go stay at a hotel. I tried to explain to him that we were doing nothing but waking around trying to get the house sorted he said then we walk too loud and need to walk more like “Portuguese people.” He was quite aggressive and basically threatend that if we didn’t be quiet it would be a bad situation. This left my husband and I feeling uncomfortable and was not a nice experience. We felt timid about walking around the rest of our stay. I messaged the person that met us and he never messaged back. Later I got a message that said he can’t take calls at work.
I spoke to the neighbor later because we felt so bad about the scenario and worked it out but this is not something that I wanted to start my vacation off with.
