We had a great time in NY and staying at Patricia's was a joy. She is an excellent host and very helpful. I contacted her early and she responded to all my questions promptly. She was there to meet us and she lives just down the hall. This saved the day as she printed out concert tickets for me last minute! Her list of tips we followed frequently. The loft is just as described and even more spacious than in the pictures. The pull out bed is big and comfortable. I agree with other reviews about the location - perfect launchpad. The only fault I can find the is the the window. It is big with beautiful views but wind blows in around the AC - unit. This seems to be a NY type of thing though as I noticed this in other places.
All in all, this a fantastic place to stay and a bargain. I recommend it highly.
