I struggled with how high/low to rate this place.
Here are the positives: the hosts were very helpful and kind, the place has an AC for cooling down after walking all day, it is close to the city center so you can get to everything fairly quickly and the apartment is very clean.
The negatives almost outweigh all of this however. The apartment is on street level which normally I wouldn’t mind but you can hear every single person that walks down this particular street. This also would not be a big problem if there weren’t drunkards hollering all day long and at all hours of the night. We could not really get a comfortable sleep as there were random groups of drunks coming down the block well into the morning and banging on god knows what. With the thin windows it feels like they are inside the apartment with you the whole time.
If that isn’t enough you can hear every time someone flushes anywhere in the building as the water rushes through the walls around you. I’m not particularly picky about many things but all this noise just isn’t pleasant.
To top it all off the area that the apartment is in seems a bit sketchy overall. You have rundown buildings right across the street and neighbors that stay out in alleyways at all hours of the night. Combined with all the noisy drunks it just didn’t feel very safe at night here.
