This is listing is misleading regarding noise level. I grew up in Manhattan & my business is located in Midtown, so I'm very familiar with the normal noise level of that area: Sirens, dump trucks at around 1/5am, night-time deliveries, motorbikes & general street noise like occasional yelling or whatever.
The problem here, is that this apartment suffers from being exactly and directly on (immediately out of the window) the Lincoln tunnel ramps. This is NOT usual midtown noise. This is an overwhelming and amplified (the ramp has high, echoing concrete walls) noise of traffic due to the placement of the apartment on a major thoroughfare that you can't escape even with ear plugs.
This was unexpected, as I asked Catia specifically whether her apartment was on the ramp or major roads & she said "it's not". Fact is, it is. As soon as I got there, I had to u-turn & find a nearby hotel. Airbnb was totally unhelpful & Catia refused any refund, not even the cleaning fee despite everything.
