We come to the Yorkville area of NYC frequently and always stay in an AirBnb. We are used to noise, walk-ups and older apartments.
The location of this apartment, a short block away from my grandkids, is ideal. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom perfectly serviceable.
The description of this apartment says that it is on the 2nd floor facing 1st Ave so it is noisy. That is accurate but an understatement. Even I, as a heavy sleeper, had difficulty getting to sleep and was frequently woken up by very, very loud trucks on Thursday and Friday nights. My wife ended up sleeping on the couch in the living room to try to get away from the noise.
On Saturday and Sunday nights, the noise level decreased enough so my wife could actually sleep in the bed.
The bedroom is also quite light at night. There are curtains but they aren’t heavy enough to make the room dark at all. The fact that the curtains cover the air conditioner means that if it is on, the curtains will be blown open.
