The noise from the above unit was off the charts, and lasted well into the night and continued into the late morning. Below is excerpted from my complaint letter to the host:
1. I mentioned the noise when it happened. A later development is I learned that it was potentially one of those guests that tried to enter my room and threw up at the entrance.
2. Because of that intrusion, I had to sleep with an ironing board leaning against the doorknob, so that I would wake up if anybody came through the door while I slept. I also slept with a kitchen knife on the nightstand in case the would-be intruder was belligerent or otherwise threatening to my life.
3. The thumping from the above guests continued through the night up to 4am, then resumed around 9am.
I was in town for a personal event to honor a recently deceased friend and could have used the additional rest, but instead had to deal with an incredible breach of safety. I’m from Brooklyn so know how city life is, but this was a beyond average experience that left me more exhausted when I left than when I arrived.
