This is a groovy, hip loft on the edge of the Dumbo area of Brooklyn. For us now middle aged folks, Mike has a great collection of music memorabilia from the 90's and the loft takes you back to a place you would have dreamed of living in in your 20's. I felt safe in the area. It is right next to a construction supply store, but we never heard any noise from other people or the store. The city noise is normal and tolerable. Most of the bedding are just mattresses on the floor, mine put a spring in my hip and shoulder I wasn't too pleased about. Overall, it was a cool place, good location and excellent host.
