We loved this loft and we had a really great time! It's definetly like the pictures; it's big, clean, fully furnished of all you need, and there is an outstanding view of Manhattan. But even though you have the view from the apt don't forget to go up to the roof!
Painter is a perfect host. We didn't meet him in person but he's responsive in answering quickly to any question.
A few steps from the building you have laundries, markets, and a good choise of restaurant... and the subway, of course.
So, this is the apt for those love real prewar urban lofts and dont have children (this is only because you'll have to go up to the 4th floor without a lift... but really it's worth!!).
