I have never written a negative review on here before but this was pretty grim. Leading up to my trip Peter and his management company were extremely communicative and very accommodating when I asked, last minute, to arrive 1 day earlier. The day before, Peter had emailed me that the building next door was being painted which was fine, however, when I arrived the entire area around the apartment building was filled with workmen and there was every kind of machine being used - powerdrills, powersaws, jackhammers - it was almost comical how loud it was (and I live in NYC!) This was in both the back and front of the apartment so no escape and definitely no jetlag-induced nap after a red-eye flight - I was also working that evening. Peter knew I was there for a work trip for 10 days which is a significant amount of money. My work here requires late nights at events and working from home during the day. After alerting Peter to the noise and inquiring how long it was going on for, he emailed his downstairs neighbor who confirmed that "The works are likely to go on for several more weeks It's much quieter than before but still noisy occasionally. Working time is 8 -5pm. I'm afraid the whole street has just become something of a building site." I don't know about occasionally, but I was there from 1pm and the noise was consistently insane until 5pm and promptly started again at 8am (3am my time...) and throughout the morning until I left around 11am. Peter agreed to reimburse me, and suggested his building company could help me find somewhere new. They told me they had contacted Peter about the noise a while ago (confirmed in his email to neighbor mentioning others had complained.) They also asked him (I found out later) whether he could help make up the difference for a slightly pricier apartment for me as that is all they had available. He politely declined which I am not particularly mad about, but I did say I didn't want to pay for the 1 night I stayed since I had booked this apartment months ago for its specific location and the description's emphasis on it being quiet. To try and find a nice (quiet) apartment for 10 days in a location that made sense for my work on the very same day you need to move is no easy (or cheap!) matter. I spent the day hustling around London having barely slept in 48hrs and having to figure out new plans for my work situation (and on my bday! but not really the point.) Peter was polite throughout via email, but I am still confused as to why he is renting the place in this condition, and why he has not mentioned it in his airbnb description. It feels very misleading especially bearing in mind how pricey it is. Unless you plan on being out from 8-5 every day, this...
