Barking dogs. The owners failed to tell us that there are multiple dogs that live on the property, literally outside your window. When they bark, which is often, you will be jolted, as I said, right out the window so there is nothing between you and the dogs. I ended up yelling at the dogs to be quiet and that did seem to help but I shouldn't have to do that while on vacation.
The alarm. The alarm is not on battery back up so every time load shedding occurs the alarm shuts off and the turns back on in the "armed" state and when you get up to use the bathroom etc it will go off. There is no way to turn the alarm off permanently. I reached out to the owners and Propr for help with this and was ignored. I ended up calling the alarm company who were able to fix a few issues remotely. Another thing I shouldn't have to do.
The kitchen/living is essentially in the basement, no direct light (courtyard window) and very small. We ended up hanging out in the upstairs bedroom for the most part.
