The apartment was fine and the hosts had clearly made an effort with decorating it. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated having the washer and dryer. Good TV and nice shower. The problem for us was the noise. The neighbors upstairs were extremely noisy until late at night, and at times it felt like they were intentionally trying to bother us (like one night when someone bounced a coin on the floor over and over for hours). Then there's the subway, which roars by overhead day and night. All in all, we got very little rest during our time there and left feeling stressed out.
