The studio is really stylish and nicely decorated. Location was ideal for us, in a quiet/safe residential area. We always had parking right in front and restaurants were a short drive. Checking in and out was very straight forward.
Like a previous reviewer mentioned, this is indeed basement level, although it is advertised as “garden level.” To me, “garden level” implies ground level which this is not. The entrance is in the backyard which is very garden-like, but it is made very clear in the listing and the host reminded us upon check in that the backyard is not part of the rental.
With that being said, you can definitely hear normal walking/talking/toilet flushing/etc. from upstairs. Didn’t bother me too much because we were out all day and I’m a deep sleeper. But my mom is a light sleeper and it woke her up. The family was not excessively loud, but I’ve stayed in Airbnb basement apartments before, as well as just private rooms and this was the loudest.
So overall, I’d say light sleepers should be wary and the term “garden level” is misleading.
