This was the first time in my traveling life I moved accomodations in the middle of the trip. The reasons: noise and the cold and unfriendly, unresponsive landlady.
Noise - this is a duplex and the room we were in, third floor, has a very thin room. It appears the house next door contains students who like to play guitar at 1:00 in the morning until banging in the wall was the only resort to getting some peace and quiet. Even then they continued talking which we could hear quite clearly through the wall.
Unfriendliness & Unresponsiveness - when we arrived the landlady told us that she had sent emails telling us her furnace as on the blink but everything was ok now because it was fixed - she had sent no such emails. We were expected to call and tell her whether we wanted breakfast or not. We called and left a message that we did want breakfast and when we arrived for breakfast the next morning were met with blank stares and no apology or suggestion that she could provide us with breakfast. As there were other guests sitting having breakfast, it was quite embarrassing and the "gallic shrug" really was not appreciated.
We left one of our chargers behind when we checked out a day early but were too disgusted by this woman's unfriendliness that we could not bring ourselves to call to retrieve it. Needless to say she didn't call us.
Also, very weirdly, the shower in the bathroom contained the ends of other peoples' soaps and the remnants of some prior guest's shampoo. Were we expected to use these? If so, gross. If not, then take them away.
My description really does no justice to the coldness of the landlady.
