It's clean and well decorated. I liked the bed and the space. All appliances worked fine. I didn't cook but used the stove for teas. Shower/toilets had no issues. Some light switches didn't work (didn't bother me). Easy communication with Andrea (the intercom in the lobby is connected to her cell phone, fyi). It's true about the noise. The loft is right NEXT to multiple train tracks. Frequent passenger light rails don't make much noise. It's the less frequent freight trains that makes "thud" noise at different time of the day. I used the two white noise makers and it subdued the train noise somewhat at bedtime. Laundry was great and I didn't mind putting sheets/towels in the washer before check out. I do wish this was reflected in the cleaning fee.
