Our stay at the loft was
mostly a positive experience. The layout and decor is unique and warm and the bed is very comfortable. The location in the heart of the West Village is great for exploring the city. The unit was very clean and sunny and the kitchen is well equipped (although only one small pot for cooking.) A few things the would-be visitor should be aware of however. As noted in other reviews the wood floor is uneven and definitely creaky and outside noise is intense as the loft looks out on a busy avenue and the windows (even with earplugs) do little to mitigate it. Compounding the noise issue is the repetitive slamming of the front door of the coffee shop below (beginning at 6:30 AM) which telescopes subtlety but noticeably to the bedroom above.
That said, if those issues don’t bother you, Gary’s loft is pretty nice.
