Multiple issues with house, host mad at 4 star review [guest]

Last week we stayed in a 4 bedroom + loft house that said it had air conditioning... We arrived to find that 2 of the bedrooms and only the loft had ac. And the bedroom I stayed in had a broken ac, it was stuck on High Cool and none of the knobs worked, I had to use the plug to turn it on and off ..(Good thing one person backed out or they would have had to sleep in a room with no ac during a heatwave.) There was NO ac in the living room or any other room.
The second problem was an ant situation that got bad by the 2nd day we were there. I messaged the host at 9pm that night and he didn't respond to me for over 15 hours. By that point I had already found ant traps in the house and put them out. On day 3 there were 100s of ants in the downstairs bathroom and kitchen. We had to keep the bedroom doors closed and towels under the door to keep the ants out of the rooms. And that left us with a very HOT living room to hang out in. He told me that the pest company wasn't available to come and to not spray. The traps were not effective...We left on the 4th day and I notified the host that there were even more ants. We kept all food and drinks in the fridge or tied up in a bag. There were NO ants near food, just in the sinks and around them. I told the host that I really didn't want to bring them home with us...Got no answer..And we had then crawling in our van as we were driving home! Our skin is still crawling and we are still finding ants!
I left a 4 star review and the host didn't like that and deleted his "great guest" review for me.
I left an honest review and except for the ac's and ants, it was a decent place to stay. Now he is ghosting me.

I really don't want to be that person....but this is not just noise

Newish neighbors across the street are really nice, much better then what was there before. The only problem is when they have friends over, they play REALLY LOUD music. Right now they have a giant speaker on the top of their car pointing directly at my house. The music is LOUD but the BASS is making my floors vibrate...We have 3 a/c's running and tvs on and we can not only hear the bass, we can feel it. I get that it is a holiday but at what point do I say enough is enough. My son is on the spectrum and is going to freak out when he gets home. And this music will play all night. I can hear and feel the bass. It started as a LOUD rumble that I thought was thunder off in the distance... Now it is just noise! My brother won't say anything to them so that will require me to say something....but I have no filter and when I talk, sometimes it comes over as being rude.. I don't sugarcoat anything.
