Great space! Lots of noise

We loved the space and it was so easy to access. Close to so much in the East Village and very walkable. Our only problem was the proximity to the train tracks that had freight trains going by overnight. It sounded like they were just outside the window and the horns were so loud! We could also hear everything the upstairs neighbor was doing. Great space, but didn't sleep much.
