Response from the owner Thank you for taking time to write such a comprehensive review. In the height of the season the Russell waterfront becomes a bustle of activity and more like a Italian coastal village with children playing on the beach (screaming sometimes!) and swimming, tourists wandering and dining al fresco. Our guests seem to enjoy this and of course out of holiday season Russell is a haven of tranquility. We gave much thought to the soundproofing of the apartment which we believe works well. If you would like to elaborate further to me privately on the rude and dismissive member of staff I will follow up on this. Thank you so much for leaving a fan. We will purchase a couple more for use when the weather is hot and guests do not want to have windows open. Great idea!
