I feel a bit betrayed by the other reviewers about the lack of details about the place. Everyone seems to be reviewing Eric, who is quite responsive, very helpful, and seems like someone you'd want to have a beer with.

The lofty ceilings are razor-thin and cavernous, which echoes every single sound coming from above. Dishes clanking, conversations happening, and phones ringing start off benign - but the upstairs neighbor entertains several nights a week and wears high heels in the flat, a guaranteed wake-up alarm whether you want it or not. Several sleepless nights and far-too-early mornings left me wondering what repercussions and options I had as a temporary tenant.

I could somewhat justify paying hundreds of dollars for the zombie-ish malaise - I've sunk thousands in rent to my own upstairs neighbor nightmares of the past. Sometimes you have to grin and bear it and shake your fist at fate.

Unfortunately having no water the first night and the next airbnb tenant showing up in the early morning on our departure date (more confused than we were that the other was there) was incredibly awkward and makes me re-think whether the convenience of a kitchenette is worth the headache of a not-hotel.

The location is beyond perfect and Eric is a good guy, but buyer beware you should bring earplugs, knock-out drugs, or patience in abundance.
