This loft is incredible. The space is filled with light and has amazing style. Four of us stayed here for a TED conference and it was perfect. Owen was helpful and accommodating. The noise of the city is just outside your window, but you are in NY so you just prepare so your sleep is comfortable. It is on the 5th floor, and the elevator doesn't run all the time, so just understand that you are getting some great exercise and a true NY experience when you climb, and that your loft is so damn cool that it is all worth it.
