This is a lovely place - very tastefully decorated and unique. I spent most of my time during the day in Midtown but the "chateau" was a great chance to live like a "real" New Yorker. I am a light sleeper but did pretty well. I could hear when people went through the front door and went up or down the stairs; there was also a little music and talking but nothing much. I was surprised that I couldn't hear anyone walking overhead. The best part is that you can't hear street traffic. I used a white noise machine and slept well. I personally think this place is best for one person but that could just be me. I was very comfortable and really enjoyed my stay. Very easy to catch an Uber on the street!
