The place is very simple and the room is next to the kitchen. When I arrived, there were a couple people cooking/eating dinner. I noticed a dog barking outside somewhere since they had a open air kitchen which I assumed were always open but I did not think much about it. I noticed, that the dog's barking continued STEADILY THROUGHOUT the afternoon. I mentioned the noise of the dog but the host did not acknowledge the issue. So, the first night I was there, the dog's barking kept me up much of the night. Understand that this bark was amplified by the surrounding acoustics of four large apartment buildings creating a megaphone effect. I am deaf in my left ear and I wore an earplug in the right ear but the barking was still disturbing. So, I had to leave the next day since I figured that this would be a continuing problem as it often is in other places I have stayed where people just let their dogs do what they want. My host lived on the other side and would not be bothered by the dog. I asked for my money back and when I did not hear from him, I asked for half back since I had booked for six nights. He flat out refused, told me that I should have dealt with the problem myself. I was shocked of two reasons. One, he could have easily told me about the dog problem and told me how to close his large wide open kitchen doors/windows/paneling or whatever they were since they were wide open. But since it was NOT my apartment, I figured there was a reason why they left them open. Maybe some mechanism was broken? Maybe, they left them open at night to cool the place off. The point being that he obvious knew there was a very loud barking dog and should have, at the very least, mentioned the problem and suggested a way for me to deal with it by giving simply shutting these portion doors or whatever they were. But worse, was his attitude of refusing to meet me half way and telling me that I was the problem and he was not going to refund ANY money. He possessed this irritation as if I would even dare to suggest such a thing. So, if you like barking dogs at night, then this is the place for you. And, by the way my window was close at night and there is no fan. There were also other guests, maybe long-term friends or acquaintance living there. I met one and we had dinner together. They have the best rooms. So, if you do book this place, request something away from the kitchen and pray to the God of Dogs to silence this beast! Airbnb has not responded to my complaints as of yet.
