Elena was a great host. I needed a place for my last 2 days in NY and this was a perfect place. Very flexible with the check in time, she even came back for me for check in even though she was out at the moment. The loft is clean and quiet and there's even an elevator if one's carrying a lot of luggage. The bathroom is very clean and in perfect shape. The location is perfect for experiencing Brooklyn and it's only a 5 minute walk to the L line which takes you to Union Sq in about 15 minutes to explore the city.
