3. Also, I was rung one morning to question the 'do not disturb' sign I had on the door - doesn't ringing someone equate to disturbing them ? Other than these faults it was a good stay.

6. We felt very safe in the neighborhood, even at night, but we live in CT and spend a lot of time in NYC, so we are not disturbed by the occasional homeless person, etc.

7. The outdoor bar was a nice way to end the day and they close it up by 11:00 so that the guests facing it aren`t disturbed by the noise.
