If temperature control and noise travel are important for you (and your ability to sleep), I would not recommend staying here.
On the temperature; there is no thermostat in the unit itself. There are instructions to contact the host for adjustments but after doing this, I was told the thermostat was set at 72 with no confirmation of upping the heat. This unit is underground so while I’m sure the thermostat upstairs reads 72, the temperature below is significantly lower. After using all the spare blankets, I was still far too cold throughout the night.
On the noise, it is exceptionally loud. Basically to the point where you are on the above unit’s schedule as it’s next to impossible to sleep when they are awake (foot steps, TV, conversations, you can hear everything). If they’re up until 1 am, so are you. I suspect this is related to the old home and poor insulation vs. the individuals above being particularly loud.
While affordable, I can’t recommend this to anyone who is interested in a decent night’s rest. This is another instance where I’ve realized standards and regulations in rentals are important. I regret not paying more for a modest hotel room as I would have, at a minimum, been warm and quiet enough to sleep through the night and wake comfortably to start the day.
