This is a very nice loft. The balcony faces the interior of the block, so it's very quiet. Everything was clean and orderly. Clara was a great host, accomodating us with early check-in and early check-out. She made sure we had everything we needed, including some printed info on seeing the city (wish more hosts did this). We had a brief water outage for the whole building, and Clara called the management right away to reassure us that the water would be back on shortly. Be careful with the drapes when you open the patio door.
