This apartment definitely looks great on the pictures, but in reality it’s a nightmare to stay at. We didn't know that there would be extreme noise coming from de bars in Longstreet, which are open 7 days a week. Apparently it says in the description that it “can be noisy”. Well, that is an understatement. Even with earplugs and the windows closed, it felt like we were lying inside a night club. The noise and bass-sounds were just incredibly loud.
We arrived at the appartement on a very hot day and found out that the fan was broken. I inmidiateltly send Scott a message about it and he asked me to remind him again of this problem the next day. As a guest on holiday I don’t think it should be my responsibility to keep reminding a host of a problem after I already addressed it once. Definitely not on one of the hottest days of the month with Scott already knowing what was about to happen at night.
I found a review on this apartment written by a guest called Shahram (december 2019) who also addresses the broken fan and who had the same noise experience. Like he writes about Scott: he seems more helpful than he really is. Because of the incredible noise, we were forced to sleep with the windows closed and with a broken fan, so the apartment became extremely hot and dusty.I talked to some of the neighbors in the building the next day and they confirmed that the noise is like this every night and that it even goes through double glazed windows.   There is no AC nor a cooling unit, so you can choose between sleeping with a little less noise and your windows closed - to be clear: It’s still very noisy, even when you close them - and your apartment becomes a sauna. Or not sleeping because of the noise, but at least have some fresh air. I send Scott a message at 01:30 am telling him that the situation was unbearable and that I felt mislead and that I wanted to cancel my remaining nights and check out first thing in the morning. He never responded in a nice or caring way. Whether you agree or not; you can be kind and understanding about it.
I asked Scott for a 2 day refund out of the 4 nights i’ve booked with him but he didn’t wanted to return my money. My partner and I checked out at 10 AM the next morning, after a night of no sleep and were forced to look for a new place and pay double money. Besides that, we lost one of our holidays and we started this trip completely wrong. I feel mislead and think that Scott should be more straight forward about the actual conditions and noise in the area.   Conclusion: if you want to enjoy your holiday, get a good night of sleep, and relax.. look for a different place to stay. If you want to party and sleep through anything, go here.
