If you enjoy no sleep and you love a noisy, drunken party right above you then this is the place for you. This host let me know at 8:30pm she was having a party - and to expect some noise. I checked in at 10:30pm and the party was in full swing. I contacted her multiple times to let her know the swearing, screaming, yelling and floor stomping above me was not ok. At 2am with my requests ignored I had to go upstairs to speak with her in her intoxicated state - not cool to be abused and threatened by her, flicked the bird by other intoxicated party guests and made to feel unsafe. Not cool either to be told I would receive a negative review if I gave her one - and she wouldn’t refund me unless I left a positive review. This goes against Airbnb’s extortion policy - and thanks to the Airbnb team for letting me know this, sorting out this matter so quickly and organising a refund for me. Airbnb’s policies are really great - including encouraging guests to write an honest review and not be blackmailed into doing otherwise. Did you know Airbnb will also sort out alternative accom for you should you find yourself in the same position I was in? That’s great service. Wish I had known about that last night.
The unit is extremely tidy and stylish and well appointed - great tv and netflix etc not that I could have heard it over the party! Then when the host’s washing machine goes on at 8am as it did it for me, ( after only a few hours sleep) you can always go over to the excellent cafe across the road for great coffee - which you will need if you have a long drive ahead! The host needs to work on her hosting skills. I await the negative review that she promised me with baited breath. I wouldn’t stay here if I was you - there’s plenty of other options in Hamilton.
