My wife and I recently stayed near the beach in an apartment under an elderly couple's home. All the reviews mentioned how friendly Bill and Betty (I can't actually remember their names) were and how much they enjoyed visiting. That was the last thing we were interested in. So in our comments to the hosts we said we were coming to get away from the kids and were just looking for time to ourselves with no interaction from other people. Fortunately that worked! Other than briefly talking to them when we checked in, we didn't interact with them at all the remainder of the time we were there. It was great!
