Jo and Phill’s place is well equipped and in a great location, however, we unfortunately didn’t have the smoothest first night. We arrived to a party going on at their place above the apartment. Check in was easy and Jo came down to greet us and invite us to the party going on upstairs. We accepted and went up to the party for a little while. While Jo, Phill and their friends were very nice and we very much appreciated being invited up, the party went on until almost 2am (well after we left) with extremely loud music being played. Needless to say, we didn’t sleep well. We messaged Jo and Phill asking if the music could be turned down but got no reply until the next afternoon in which they apologised for the noise. It probably would have been a good idea to apologise in person.
Unfortunately, our experience on the first night somewhat soured our stay which we suspect would have been lovely otherwise as the apartment is well located, well equipped and has a great view. We’d like to add that we had no problem with noise on the second night.
Overall, we were surprised with our experience as we’ve never experienced any problems with noise from hosts, let alone superhosts. We’d advise Jo and Phill to avoid booking guests when they have parties planned.
