I find it difficult to write anything positive about our stay at Marcel's apartment. This was due to the fact that for 6 of the 7 days we stayed there builders were working for 12 hours a day on the neighboring property using concrete saws, jack hammers and hammer drills constantly whilst creating clouds of dust that would drift onto Marcel's property. I measured the noise levels at 121 dbA!
There was no mention of this in the apartments listing and when i contacted Marcel he said he had no knowledge of the building work being carried out. He must have known that there was building work being done next door and if he didn't, then should he really be running an apartment complex?
Despite Marcel's apparent attempts at getting the construction stopped, they were still hard at it when we left to catch our plane home.
We tried to find alternative accommodation in the area, but there was no availability anywhere. We are now massively out of pocket (despite a 79% refund for what we paid for the apartment) but we have of course paid for all the flights, transfers, food etc. not to mention our lost earnings for the week, money that we will never get back.
Marcel offered a 60% refund that we were not happy with, so i had to fight for the full refund allowed by Air B and B by getting them involved.
The neighboring property is far from finished and i would estimate they have at least another 8 months work to do. So my advice is not to chance having a ruined holiday like ours was.
