Yep they managed to sort out something to keep out the noise. Possibly proper walls or as close to it for a change.

Yep in a corner flat fo the front bedroom only has our front room and main bathroom next to it and has no neighbour as such.



Also in the main far far far quieter with less people walking home this way.

Not sure what the other blocks in East Village are like. Looked both in Staten and Hudson as well.
