The hosts made us feel welcome even weeks before our reservation began by checking in with us and working with us since our flight got in WAY EARLIER than the usual check-in time.
The loft was extremely clean and very comfortable for the four of us (including two kids). Everyone had enough room; it was very handy having the shower in a different room from the toilet. We didn't always love climbing 23 steps after a long day of exploring, but we got used to it!
The neighborhood was lively and located near some pretty awesome stuff such as the Brooklyn Bridge and its amazing park.
Be prepared to walk a lot. There are several subway stops nearby but they do require a bit of hiking to get to them.
After all, I feel like our New York trip was amazing, and having this great loft to come back to each night was part of the experience.
