We had Thanksgiving for 8 people at Angi's place, and the loft was very well suited for the meal. The location is great, the kitchen worked for preparing a wonderful meal, and there was plenty of plates, silverware, etc. The only minor nit is that the furniture could be updated, but it was comfortable/workable. There is plenty of sunlight shining down from essentially a glass ceiling in the living space but there are not traditional windows in the living room/dining room. This wasn't a problem because of the abundant natural light.
