It isnt really clear from the listing but this a basement apartment which You will be staying on the premise with the hosts . There’s a communal door with a shared hallway between the hosts living space and the basement apartment .
There is no AC as advertised but it did get uncomfortably hot for large portions of the day with little that can be done about it as no other means of cooling or ventilation are provided . A fan or window unit would have gone a long way in making the stay more enjoyable . Even waving the windows open wasn’t a great option because there were no screens to keep flies out and the driveway was right outside the window and we could smell exhaust whenever they started their car .
there was a lot of noise between the units, especially in the mornings . Again , the hosts park right outside the window and live above the unit . Between the normal noises associated with them walking around upstairs and the car pulling in and out you pretty much wake when they do . Also , it honestly just felt a little uncomfortable having to be very conscious about our own noise level as to not disturb them if i came in late .
Finally , the hosts just seem to be very particular with their expectations of guests . They aren’t overbearing but it’s just enough to make you feel like you are walking on eggshells during the stay .
Things got a little better toward the end of the trip mainly owing to the hosts having left for their own vacation so the noise and car exhaust were no longer an issue by the time my friend arrived to meet me .
