James' loft worked out perfect for our family of 5 adults. We had more than enough room for the 5 of us. We had a wonderful weekend in NYC ! Being so close to the subway and not far from so many places on Bedford Ave. in Brooklyn was great. Getting back and forth to Manhattan was so easy. Our family wedding was just blocks away so we were in the perfect location. Climbing the stairs was not even all that bad. Parking on his street ended up easier than I had feared, just as he had assured me. Although we did not get to meet James, he was more than helpful throughout our stay just as he had been prior to our arrival. Music was on when we arrived and the air conditioners kept the place comfortable. It was a very homey place. Thanks James for sharing your home! The Cole Family
