I have thought about not posting this review because I have used airbnb since its inception (I went to a city with just two listings.. can you even imagine!!) and I have never left a ‘terrible’ review before.
But on balance I feel the need because if I had known how noisy this location was I would not have booked.
*Absolutely no complaints* about anything which is in the host’s control: cleanliness, amenities, communication, friendliness etc. (Although with perpetual street lighting outside some proper curtains would be appreciated).
However you really should be aware how noisy it is.
6am every morning the road sweepers and leaf blowing (!) start up and down, up and down. Do not underestimate the volume ~ the window does nothing to stop this, it was even comedically rattling from the noise at certain points. This is just the start. You also have the industrial bins being emptied by a lorry (and they’re back at 11.30pm).
You are on a proper main road so it feels like every car/bike/van/lorry that drives by is in your room.
I have read through all the reviews and this is hardly mentioned so maybe I am sensitive?
It was not a restful stay and I was actually looking forward to going back home to sleep properly.
