I don't know what the hosts were doing in their home, but it certainly sounded as loud as renovations, and it lasted as late as 11pm and started as early as 6:45am for all 4 days of my stay. Banging, clanking, stomping, drilling, etc - the sounds permeated into my room thunderously and continuously to the point that it was obnoxious. I don't see how this could be deemed reasonable when there is a guest in the house, especially outside "typical" quiet hours. I'm upset that I was not asked about my tolerance for the ongoing noises at the very least, and did not appreciate that the original listing mentioned nothing of the sort. I regret not messaging the hosts about this myself during my stay, but quite frankly I don't feel right telling someone how to live in their own home, so I sucked it up until I left.
Further toward lack of comfort, the first night I got in really late after the hosts were sleeping and I noticed the only pillows were abnormally thick. As a stomach and side sleeper, this caused extreme discomfort and I woke up with pretty bad pains because my head was overly elevated and kinked relative to the rest of my body. Near the end of the night I ended up grabbing the shower towel and folding it up as a pillow which, while not ideal, worked better. The following night I noticed that pillows could be unzipped and the foam inside could be removed, so I ended up storing as much foam as possible in the drawers for the remainder of my stay; this allowed me to reduce the thickness to standard and helped immensely.
These days, I would say it's pretty standard for AirBnb hosts to leave a small amount of drinks, coffee, and a snack or two, which really helps travelers feel like they are "home" when they arrive. There was none of that here, and not even any cups to drink from, so this was a disappointment, but not a deal breaker.
Honestly, everything else was pretty good for a single traveller. Akila was kind and quick in her communications with me, the bed was extremely comfortable, shower was great, the place was clean and fairly stylish. With the pillow issue solveable, and if the noise issues were to hypothetically subside, then it would be a place most would recommend despite the overvalued price. I just know that I personally won't be back, and I truly hope the hosts adjust the necessary details given this feedback.
