Alex and his girlfriend were amazing hosts. My girlfriend and I were very intimidated in our first time using AirBnB and were given excellent recommendations and instructions from them on how to make our vacation worthwhile. They were also great to chat with. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to leave early and Alex was kind enough to give us one free day with him if we were to ever book again in the future. The location is perfect - sitting a block away from a grocery store that had an excellent selection of beer, from the L line that goes into Manhattan, and from one of the best cheap-eats ever, Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos. That proximity was key. The loft is just as it appears in the picture above. Alex and his girlfriend are artsy types, and the beautifully decorated loft and effective use of their space reflects that. The room we were given was clean and the bed was welcoming. 10/10, I highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.
