We were notified of host having a new years party day of arrival, not prior to booking or we would have made other arrangements especially with having pets along with us.. "Apartment" is clean, host was very nice,showed us the property and invited us to his party. Being a downstairs residence you can hear everything above you and around you. We stayed 5 nights, the night of his party we came back "home" around 9pm but had to leave after about 30 minutes due to the noise above us and in the garage next to us and went to sit in a parking lot for 3 hours hoping the party would quite down by 1am to no such luck upon our return. He did send a text and apologize for the noise. It was New Years, understand that... but a heads up of the party would have been appreciated. The host was a very nice man, clean place, maybe we just were there at the wrong time.
