Luis and Oriana's place was lovely! We were there as a group of 4 (two couples) and we were each able to have our own space in the loft during our stay. It was accessible, under 10 minutes leisurely walk to a subway stop and about a half hour subway ride to most attractions. Luis provided plenty of information about accessing the city and communicated promptly. The description does mention a family dog in the foyer to the loft entrance, but it is a cutie and is behind a gate at all times. The stairs (much bemoaned in other reviews) are no big deal at all if you are at all mobile (our asthmatic/non-athletes had no trouble). The entrance to the loft is inside Luis and Oriana's home but does have a locking door if you are so inclined. Plenty of linens (and AC!) were provided and we had every convivence we could have wanted for our stay. I would absolutely stay here again when I return to NYC! (Also- the art in the place is FABULOUS!)
