We largely used the condo. There were so many things to do off site! The walls are thin. A seasonal renter was directly below us. Each morning, she had her TV on so loud that we nearly could make out the words. Also, she had 2 dogs that barked. When they did, it felt like they were virtually in our unit. Poor sound containment. Otherwise great!
