Four wonderful days over thanksgiving. An extremely authentic big city loft experience whilst at the same time very comfortable. The views are amazing; we lucked out seeing the full moon come up over the navy yards beyond.
My wife luckily bumped into Owen when she was returning from the copius local store with stuff for the meal. He was very charming to us all -just quickly checking everything was allright. His kitchen was a pleasure to work with. And our east coast college boys enjoyed lounging around or showing us their city.
The ease of access to Manhatten is great -we used metro every time. We even managed to visit Staten Island by quickly accessing the Ferry.
But the irreplaceable experience of urbanism coupled with Owen's enigmatic loft decorations made for a visit that was both relaxing and stimulating at the same time.
I love those shiny painted floors!
