The apartment is lovely and was very clean. The location is good (more Fairview Park than Rockridge but still good and close to Rockridge). The host was very accommodating about check-in time and easy to communicate with.
However, the house in the lot next door is under a major construction job (not a simple renovation, but major work--huge addition on back plus substantial expansion work involving the roof over the pre-existing structure). In the several hours after we checked in, there was a nearly constant amount of construction noise--hammering, buzzing from what I assume were saws, shouting by the crew. It was nearly as loud in the unit as out. After a few hours we realized we couldn't stay in this unit and keep sane. We were very fortunate to be able to find an alternative place to stay. After some back and forth, the host agreed to a full refund, because she had failed to mention anything about this situation in the listing, its pictures, or in our communications before check-in. We would not have booked the place had we known.
The host told us that: the construction dates are unpredictable, though there's no work on weekends, and when they work it's from 8-5. So if you don't care about daytime noise on weekdays, this is a good place to stay. If you do, though, I would consider finding an alternative until the construction is finished.
I empathize with the host, because it's not her fault the neighbors are doing this disruptive project. At the same time, it's not fair to roll the dice with your paying guests' well being.
