Nice loft at a great location, good price, and amazing view. It is pretty spartan, enough for a few days stay, especially if you mainly use it for night sleep and short rest during the day. If you're looking for a cozy place to snuggle in, this is not it. As other reviewers said, there was a very strong smell, but I believe it is actually the cleaning chemical since it went away the next day. Definitely bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. There is a lot of noise form the canal in the early morning. The place could use some maintenance, namely door hinges and stairs that are really noisy (again ear plugs).
