My boyfriend and I stayed at Julia's awesome spot for 3 nights while in NY for a wedding. Julia was very accommodating with a late arrival from the airport. We communicated well in advance so their were no surprises. When we arrived Julia had all her house rules printed out as well as a list of things to do and places to eat in the area of DUMBO which was really helpful. The location is so convenient for getting in and out of Manhattan and we loved walking over the Brooklyn bridge every day. The loft is so big that you never see or rarely hear the roommates that live there. The guest room itself is bigger than most studio apartments in NYC. We loved the bed, the sky light, and the sound of the trains. We live in other big cities and are used to the sounds of transport. I visit NY multiple times a year for work and I found Julia's place to be one of the most peaceful places I have stayed in the city. The space is very clean and organized. The bathroom and shower are so lovely. Julia was very welcoming. We only saw her when we arrived and when we were leaving. We highly recommend staying here if you want lot's of space, a quiet neighborhood, a generous host, an awesome shower, and a really good night's sleep. It was the perfect spot for a short trip.
