The location is good, right in the middle of Afton village it is above a pub/ restaurant which is not a noise problem. The apartment is also above the post office which IS a noise problem at about 5:30 in the morning. The apartment is very basic but pleasant. I would stay there again.

Disappointing Stay

I was excited to stay at this place as it was above a pub and a little shop. Also, the host was nice and really responsive. However, upon arriving at a late hour after our flight, we were greeted with the smell of must/mold. We were so tired we just went to bed, but all 4 of us were woken up at 5 am due to the bedrooms now having curtains and the post office below making thunderously loud noises every few minutes. I reached out to our host immediately that morning and never received a response. I tried again a day later, and again, no response. Do not stay here, especially with children.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug 2023
We appreciate your feedback & did respond & make it right with you so you may need to look at that or why you didn't receive. It is an old building built in 1904 above a pub & post office which is closed on Sundays but there is absolutely no mold and no one else has ever mentioned an odor. There are curtains in main bedroom & 2 small windows in 2nd bedroom that provide some light on north side so your comments are a little overstated but we get it; it wasn't black out if that's what you like. We've added optional window coverings for future bookings. Hopefully, you enjoyed your trip overall & we're sorry it wasn't what you expected.

Afton is beautiful

Great place especially if you like to hangs out in a outside bar and restaurant. The internet works well and it is very comfortable. Everything was great until 5:00am when the truck s show up at the post office directly below the room. From there on out they are rolling mail around in heavy carts for the rest of the morning . I put the heat and air on to drowned it out a little bit.which helped..
