I've been in NYC for five and a half months and I've spend the last month at Kate's place. The loft is more dazzling than you can see in the pictures, a large spot with gorgeous forniture and genuinely New York style. Besides, one thing that drew my attention was the elevator, a big booth where you have to press and hold the bottom until you reach your story. If you want a truly Dumbo experience, this is the right place, a little neighborhood where you have spots such as restaurants, book stores, compelling views of Manhattan skyline as well as both bridges -Brooklyn and Manhattan- to fly you mind away. I did it all the time.
As for Kate, I run out of words. She is one of the most wonderful people I've ever met, a perfect person to share the apartment and your time. I felt as if I were in my own house all the time. Besides, she offer me her bike to ride as long as I want and I could say with joy 'fuck city bike program'.
Whenever I come back to NYC, I will cal her again.
