Teddy's loft is a simple but comfortable space in a happening neighborhood with enough room for six people (or even eight) to stay for a few nights without everyone stepping on each other. I rented it along with five other friends to use as a crash pad for a post-college reunion and it was perfect for that purpose - big, relatively tidy, with enough sleeping space for each person to have their own bed or couch. The neighborhood is great, full of interesting bars and restaurants but still super industrial and full of character - it's much more appealing than Williamsburg, although I'm sure it's also changing by the day. I never met Teddy but he was extremely easy to coordinate with, which I appreciated.

We did have two quibbles, one minor, and one less so. The minor one is that the check-in time got pushed out a few times that morning - however, we ended up finding a great bar to camp out at down the street while we waited, and that ended up being fun, so no harm, no foul. The bigger quibble is that in order to get into Teddy's building, you have to struggle with the worst lock I've ever had to deal with. I realize this sounds minor but it never took us less than 15 minutes of fiddling with the key to get back into the building, including one 35-minute session at 4 in the morning when we all actively started wondering if we were going to need to find a hotel for the night. Perhaps you think this won't be an issue for you but seriously, unless you're a master locksmith, you will spend a significant portion of your stay here fumbling at the door like an idiot, guaranteed. Other than that, thumbs up all around!
