This is the quietest place I've stayed in on manhattan. Didn't hear so much as a car horn, which new yorkers will know is impressive. Stay here if you want a good night's sleep. But not a good day's sleep as the curtains are not the type which keep out daylight... Other than that, really classy space in a vibrant area full of independent bars and coffee places. Easy to access Brooklyn across Williamsburg Bridge and within walking distance of Greenwich village.
