Based on the other reviews, my friends and I were expecting the location to be pretty run down and that there would be a lot of homeless people walking around. Some of the people are exaggerating because there was only a few on the block. The area isn't the best looking, but it's honestly not even that bad. I felt safe walking (for the most part) to certain spots near by, like the last bookstore and perch.
Checking in: I suggest that you unload in the unloading area closer to GAP, because the one next to Ross only lets you unload for 5 minutes. It was a breeze to get into the building and our loft.
Place: The pictures of the loft are EXACTLY how it looks like inside. The interior design was done so well and we were impressed. The place is clean and spacious.
Downside: I wish I could rate this loft 5 stars, but we really couldn't stand the construction noise and the trash pick up at late 3-4am. On our first night, it was extremely loud and I regret not buying ear plugs. However, on our second night it didn't last as long and wasn't as loud. If you're a light sleeper, you will have trouble sleeping around these hours.
