Downstairs Apartment
This is our first ever negative review of a property from any online rental platform. We did not actually stay in the apartment more than about 45 minutes so we left 5/5 stars on anything other than the reason we left. This is not an 1100 sq ft home rental. It is a home divided into up/down apartments. We could hear people stomping up and down stairs from the driveway when we arrived, and once we got into the rental, it was actually vibrating through the space. We then heard a toilet flush upstairs and it sounded like water was running down the wall separating the kitchen from bedroom #1. We text the owner who immediately responded back. I am posting the exact responses below. 'Hello— the home is a duplex though there isn’t a lot of overlap with the sides. the stairs to the other side are on the other side of the house where the other driveway is. In case you missed it the garage and outdoor shower are shared with the two units.' 'We’ve not had any feedback on noise between the units, in fact, there is extra insulation— it is a family staying upstairs so there shouldn’t be any late night noise affecting sleep. There are also sound machines in each bedroom if that helps!' So there has never been an issue with noise but there are noise cancellation devices in each bedroom? To be clear, it was incredibly loud and this listing does not state a duplex, so the owner needs to clarify what this is. We had to find a hotel at the last minute and pay for both. Cleaning fee refunded.
