I booked Russel's loft primarily as a place to shoot fashion editorials for my magazine. Russell is a lovely host and great communicator. His apt was clean, comfortable and just one flight of stairs to walk up. I did have a wheelchair-bound model and when the art gallery Russell suggested on the first floor wouldnt allow us to shoot there, I was able to have her hair and makeup done and shoot her at the restaurant in the White Building across the street,. They had delicious pizza and were really kind so I'd recommend you check them out (make reservations). The flat was a great choice as it had an amazing!!! rooftop, as well as good light in the apt itself. The shared shower in the hallway was a bit tight and a bother when I wanted to use it and someone else was already in, but the new shower that Russel is installing directly in his flat looks well on it's way to completion, so not much of an issue. I would def recommend this listing, unique, versatile and transportation just around the bend, as well as situated by the canal and park. You can't go wrong, esp as Russel is so kind and accommodating.
