Hi. I was in Brooklyn to take care of my grandchild while her parents were working. I wanted a comfortable place to sleep and a place where I could cook my own meals and Marcus provided both. The loft was accessed by a ladder bolted to the wall as described. I hadn't thought about the fact that this meant the ladder was straight up and down. Going up and down the ladder at night to go to the bathroom was a bit much for me. I ended up sleeping on the first floor which was a much better solution for my needs. The downstairs is also darker at night which gives me a better sleep. I would would stay there again if the need arose.
