I love the character of this loft! The building has genuine authentic industrial vibe. The loft has amazing wooden floors with a nice patina. The windows let in a lot of light. And I LOVE the location.
I'm a frequent visitor to Brooklyn and the Red Hook neighbor feels very authentic. The neighborhood is artistic, diverse and a bit edgy.
There are several shops/restaurants nearby. Love the coffee shop The Black Flamingo! San Pedro tacos and the local characters at Brooklyn Ice House which surprisingly had a good selection of Belgium beer. And Delfontes sandwich shot!! And Food Bazaar a great grocery store. Red Hook has everything you need.
Just a heads up - the neighborhood can be a bit noisy late into the night (week nights/weekends) , but that's not unexpected. Just bring some ear plugs it that is a problem for you.
There was a little wrinkle with one of the utilities at the building (no fault of the host!!) and we were able to work together and come to a satisfactory agreement.
