We really enjoyed our stay! The noise from the subway is barely noticeable and intermittent -- I compared it to distant thunder. Also, I personally like a little background noise when I'm falling asleep. Yiota's place offers everything you could ask for while visiting the city. The apartment is certainly simple, but it's perfect! The location is amazing, with subway stations incredibly close by and unique restaurants on each block. Yiota is also quick to reply to any concerns. I highly recommend staying here. :)
