The kitchen is beautiful, the bed is reasonably comfortable, and the space is huge, clean, and tastefully decorated.
However, the soft furniture's upholstery is flaking off, and the carpets are there to hide loose floorboards, which was surprising.
In terms of noise, the refrigerator fan is very loud, and resonates through the loft, and there is a large drain pipe in the apartment, that you can hear water drain through throughout the night.
The loft is on the second floor, and the windows face an alley where you had some weird stuff happening at night (vomiting, etc).
