Many said they had no problem with the noise here, I felt the opposite. I wish the nose warning was more serious and higher up on the listing, because I felt it was a big deal. I disimcivered a technique to sleep (see below) but it was a challenge.
As you can see, it’s a marvelous apartment. During the day you get to witness a dance and symphony of sycamore trees from the fifth floor that is just marvelous. At that height the trunk of the trees themselves are swaying as well so not only are you seeing these marvelous large gloriously sun-dappled leaves dance but their whole framework is loving as well. It’s beautiful, tranquil, and very unique. Tons of light enter through the wraparound window-walls and it feels bigger than it is.
But I wish the noise warning was more prominent. I stayed there for a few months, what you can expect for sure is that Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights there will basically be one section of a rock concert outside on the street two doors down singing in unison, clapping, whistling, to Cumbia, rock, etc. On the street it doesn’t even sound so bad. For some reason up in the apartment window everything from the two bars collects and clashes and it’s quite rough. Earplugs alone do not stop it, but the host has left large jars of two different types for you to use.
I managed to discover a technique to sleep, which was to turn on pink noise (find on YouTube or Apple Music, etc and set to repeat) on my Bluetooth speaker that was very loud, like standing next to a waterfall, loud enough that the amplitude matched that of what was in the street so that I could not hear it. It’s very loud. And then, put on your earplugs above that to bring it all down. I was finding that earplugs alone would still allow through whistling, clapping, shouting, etc.
Anyhow the owner is really great, the apartment during the day is really great but I found it a very challenging place to be at night.
