Due to the hot weather we had to have the windows open most of the time and there were constantly work people wandering around outside the property the entire time so it was not particularly peaceful. Also the smaller bedroom with the shower is located by whatever the water goes through, so any time someone has a shower or runs the water there is a very loud continuous noise right next to the head of the bed.
