Guests should be very aware that this listing is the top floor of a 2 story building and the neighbors are very sensitive to noise. Sound proofing is less than ideal. The very first day the neighbors banged on the ceiling and yelled at us for "slamming the door". We never slammed the door, but the wind would often close it more forcefully than expected. Given the number of notes around the house reminding guests not to slam the door, this seems to be an ongoing issue. The neighbors proceeded to yell at us, bang on the ceiling, and criticize us openly on the outdoor porch where we could hear them calling us crazy. They then complained to the host, Laura, about how we sorted our recycling, told her we were slamming doors, and walked more heavily than the 3 men who were previous guests. They complained about us leaving our bedding in the dryer while we went to the beach. We had to wash our bedding during the day because there was gecko droppings all over the beds. We were very surprised and offended when Laura texted us reprimanding us for our recycling telling us it was "disgusting to sort through trash for people". She reminded us to remove our laundry and to not slam doors. We called her to explain that we would never slam doors intentionally, and we were tired of being yelled at through the ceiling by the neighbors. She would not take the call as she had been texting us during a "very important meeting" and would call us back later. We were extremely offended when she forwarded our text messages to the neighbors downstairs. We could hear them reading them out loud and complaining about how horrible we were. We found Laura to not be a very good communicator and to have difficulty resolving conflict. We still don't understand why she forwarded our text messages to them.
There were cockroaches in the bedrooms and kitchen. Gecko droppings everywhere. Overall, we would have avoided this listing had anyone left clear feedback indicating the potential for conflict downstairs and the overall cleanliness of the space.
