The loft is so very tastefully decorated without losing any comfortable, inviting feeling. Located in a friendly building and wonderfully walkable neighborhood, the overall ambiance is okay, I'm going to say it... delightful! Subway access is a very quick walk as are any other needs. Access from there into the city is very easy. If Bedford Avenue is a destination, count this as close enough for a brief enjoyable walk. Restaurants, coffees, groceries, shopping are all very nearby. Vegans (we are) can rejoice at the many neighborhood food options. Cable and wi-fi were excellent. The views from the loft and the amazing unobstructed view of Manhattan from the rooftop were magnetic. The rooftop is great for hanging out and capturing photos of the area and beyond. While we never met Thomas, his communications were thoroughly helpful. He thoughtfully left a great introductory package that included all necessary information regarding the loft and included loads of information about visiting NYC. With the loft as our base, we had excellent access to everything and a great place to return to each night/early morning.
