The apartment itself is gorgeous. However, we did not have the chance to enjoy it due to the construction work currently happening right behind the apartment building. The noise, which woke us up at 6.30 am was simply unbearable. Imagine a whole orchestra of hammer drills breaking down concrete. We had to run, not just leave the apartment.
I contacted the host immediately and she kindly agreed to refund us. I greatly appreciated that. At the same time, we still lost some money (the Airbnb service fee and the cleaning fee), not to count the stress of looking for another place to stay for the night--because we could just not stay another night in the Peppi apt.
While I appreciated the host's understanding of the situation, I wish, however, that the ad had mentioned that there was such a huge construction site behind the apartment. We are talking about a 12-story or so apartment building being built as we speak, right behind the Peppi apartment building--and the bedroom window is facing that. The construction site is too big to be missed, and the host obviously knew. I must admit that I felt mislead and therefore I cannot give more than two stars. The apartment will definitely be a great place for vacation once that construction is done, but this will probably take a while.
PS. It might be a different situation during the weekend, if the construction work stops then. The unbearable noise that we experienced occurred on Thursday--as I said, it started at 6.30 am, continued until about 8 am when we left, and it kept going at around 2 pm, when we came back to take our luggage and leave for good.
