Overall, apartment is as advertised, great location, clean, comfortable bed, and hosts were responsive. My disappointment comes from asking directly about construction noise.
NY is always under construction, I get it. But I disclosed I’d be working from there and asked directly about noise so I could make other arrangements for specific meetings. I was told the construction was completed, there was no noise. I learned the hard way that was not the case at all and embarrassingly, had to move into the bathroom in the midst of an important call in order to hear. Just be prepared for the possibility of construction noise 6 days a week, directly across the street. Not all the work is that loud but it’s unpredictable.
