so, this is what it says in the listing: 'We have a strict No smoking and No pet policy.'

well, if you are sensitive to CIGARETTES like i am, i need to be absolutely clear to let you know that they are both frequent cigarette smokers and they live directly on top of the unit.

when it first happened, i was absolutely shocked. not only because of what they state in the listing, but even more so because i was absolutely clear from my first message to them when i inquired about the place: i told them that i am sensitive to traffic fumes, and that i am a meditation teacher, and eco friendly etc etc etc. absolutely astounding that they did not mention it.

when it first happened, i told them that i am sensitive to cigarettes and right away he said no problem, they will smoke in the alley. that did NOT happen. it happened again the very next morning, and continued several times. i started to feel it in my throat. he said that it must be a neighbor. i am absolutely 100% certain that it was not a neighbor. i told him that i would need to cancel the final day unless they smoke in the alley. i believe they actually did that on the final day, at least when i was there. so my advice to the reader is to be very sure from DAY 1 that they will go the alley without exception.

i heartfully hope that you will *wake up* to the fact that cigarettes are harmful *by design*!!! the info is out there!!! there is nothing wrong with tobacco --- it is a sacred natural plant. but the chemical SOAK is absolutely harmful by design, i promise you with all my heart...

also, one more thing: the ceiling insulation is absolutely minimal. walking sounds like thumping and i could hear just about every word from the tv. luckily i travel with my steel fan which helped but it was still not pleasant to say the least. i recommend investing in some insulation, it will be worth it for all!
