I stayed here for a month. Would not hesitate to book again.
My favorite features of this loft:
- Directly across the street from a police station. Always at least one officer at the station's entrance. 24/7, I could look outside my window and see a police officer. Felt like the safest possible location.
- The subway station to Manhattan is essentially next door. Leaving the loft, it consistently took me 10 minutes to touch a Manhattan sidewalk (this includes walking to the station + walking through Grand Central).
- 5-10 minute walk (depends on how fast you walk) to the river. I loved being so close to the water.
- LIC neighborhood itself was filled with neat restaurants, breweries, and parks. Tons to do without needing to travel anywhere else.
- The loft looks as clean and beautiful in-person as it does in photos/videos. The artwork on the walls, the spaciousness. Super dreamy spot.
- Super comfy bed and sheets.
- It was clear to me that David and Margaret truly care about providing an unforgettable NYC experience for guests. They seemed to know the neighborhood inside-out, providing a whole binder of local restaurant menus and their personal recommendations. At the foot of the stairs in the building, there's a photo and story of the building's history (along with more artwork on the walls). There's a vibe of authentic love for LIC / NYC. A wholesome small business. This is what I like to support.
