We had a great time staying at Julian's artist loft. Although the exterior of the house is fairly nondescript (by design as per Julian), the unit is beautifully designed by Julian and decorated with his art collection. It is also cozy, spacious, clean, and very quiet. A supermarket is conveniently located next door, and restaurants, laundromat, etc., are all within walking distance. Julian is an all around great guy, and was appropriately engaging. Great location as Manhattan is easily accessed via train or ferry.
