Too noisy to sleep. We had to leave in advance.
The apartment is on the first floor of a building located on the noisiest spot of Bermeo’s harbour. We found it so loud that we could hardly sleep at night, not even with closed windows and ear plugs. For this reason, we decided to leave the apartment after only two nights, even though we had booked four.
On the building’s ground floor there are a restaurant and a bar, which are open during the day and until late in the night. Moreover, in the weekend we spent in Bermeo, people kept on lounging under our window drinking and talking loudly during the night even after the bar had closed.
When we tried to explain the situation to Irene and find a friendly solution, she showed no comprehension at all. She refused to find any agreement and made an unpleasant situation even more unpleasant.
Altogether staying Irene’s apartment pretty wasted our holiday in the Basque Country and costed us lot of extra money to stay in another lodgment.
Apart from the noise, the apartment is cozy and clean. The pictures on AirBnb do correspond to the real apartment. The living zone is lighty, whereas the sleeping zone and the bathroom are a little bit dark, but this is something you can imagine reading the description on Airbnb.
In general, if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay I would not recommend Irene’s apartment.
