This is a very spacious and beautiful loft. The plants and lighting are great. It is close to NYU and all of the great restaurants and cafes that you would expect in this part of the city. The West 4th street subway station is right across the street, too, so you can easily hit the museums, central park, or anything else on your NYC wish list.
I think this is mentioned in the description, but, to reiterate... the north-facing bedroom is street-facing and right above some busy clubs. Gina has a sound machine in the room and the window unit air-conditioner is loud enough to help with the noise. It is the most private area of the loft so my husband and I took that room and the kids stayed in the main area. I'm a very light sleeper and was still able to sleep through the night even with the crowds below. Probably because I was exhausted from hiking all over enjoying the city!
I highly recommend Gina's loft for a large group wanting an NYC experience away from the usual tourist locations.
