Although Donna is a lovely host and did her best to accommodate me, this was a disappointing experience.

The flat is just like the pictures, sharp and well decorated. The location is fantastic, as noted. And Donna is kind and attentive.

What fell completely short of expectations, however, was the construction. It started as early as 7am and was highly disruptive -- constant banging, sawing, and noise. I was unable to remedy the situation and ended up being seriously inconvenienced. Donna was understanding but did not remedy the situation while I was there.

I try to be a flexible and understanding person, but in this case it went beyond what's reasonable to expect. Once the renovations are done I'm sure it will be fine.
