The host is great at returning texts and emails. Front room is on the Avenue, unless you're a deep sleeper, it could keep you up at night. The other room is not and is satisfactory. We never saw any neighbors but the building walls were a bit thin for me so we did hear a them a few times but not enough to be troublesome at all.
In the winter time, I would caution all that there is an uninsulated heating pipe right next to bed in the other room. Its an older building so those pipes will get very hot when on. Its an easy fix, just insulate 5 or 6 feet from ground so the room can still get enough heat to heat the room. The building does have good heat.
