We should have been advised in advance that there is noisy building work being undertaken on a building opposite the apartment. Because of the narrow street, this building is only about two metres away. Being woken up on holiday between 7.30 and 8.00 am by drilling is not what one wants on holiday. The hosts should also have some mechanism for fixing problems. A hot water pipe which malfunctioned two days before we left was not repaired in spite of being told it would be.
