Kate's loft is beautiful, and it was a joy to stay there. It's perfectly situated in a fun, vibrant part of Brooklyn. Don't worry too much about the noise from the train nearby -- once your in your room with the doors closed and the fan on it becomes nothing more than white noise you'll barely notice. Kate herself was a model host, offering me a (quite welcome) glass of wine upon my arrival and taking great care to make sure I was comfortable. I felt very comfortable and had a great time -- I'd absolutely stay here again.
