Road Works! Too Hot!
The apartment is lovely, I knew it was very central and near a road. The place was spotless, beds were comfy and, apart from no tea towels, scourer or egg cups it was well equipped. However, it is on a corner with two busy roads and above a pub, it has lots of huge sash windows with good secondary double glazing. Sound good? Well yes except the temperature in the apartment was around 26 degrees as the sun coming through the windows made it unbearable, we could’nt open the windows some of which didn’t open anyway, due to road noise so we had the blinds down permanently, and trying to sleep at night was difficult due to the build up of temperature. Additional to this, there was major road works going on directly outside the apartment, and I do mean directly, I even had a discussion with one of the guys by putting my head out of the window to ask what time this scheduled work would be finished! Work started at around 7pm each night and road closed to cars. First night 6 or 7 civil engineering vehicles turned up, and about 8 chaps and drilling, and jack hammering started as they dug up the road. Horrendous noise. I phoned the emergency number and was shouted at by the guy who answered and he slammed the phone down on me, it was apparently, “not my job”! The owner then came to the door 20 minutes later to apologise, said she knew nothing about the work, that’s not possible. Work Stopped at 1am next night.We left a day early just as work started again at 7pm couldn’t take any more!
