Noise is a serious issue here. I read other people's reviews, and accepted the host's acknowledgement that you can hear the noise from the unit above this apartment, and even brought earplugs. However, I did not anticipate that this noise would occur throughout the entire night. It is a creaky floor above the unit the reacts to anyone walking around, and of course to items being dropped. The first night at this location was fine, the second however, was awful. I ended up moving from the bed into the living room on the couch, thinking that the person above might not walk above this area, but was wrong- noise was just as bad. When the owner went outside and turned on the car lights around 4am, I told him it was so loud, and he let me know he was up packing for an early flight.
If you know that noise is an issue, and someone is paying to stay at your apartment, a waiver does not excuse simple courtesy and I would hope that a host would do their best to minimize noise during reasonable sleeping hours of say 11 to 5 at least. No such luck here. I was so disappointed, and it made for a very hard next day, with no sleep. If you can sleep through anything, then this could be a good option. Otherwise, the location is ideal, the apartment was very clean and spacious.
