Amanda's loft is perfect if you're looking for something close to the Broadway nightlife. We walked down to Broadway in minutes. It is in a safe area, which was nice. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to have an awesome breakfast place right around the corner (Another Broken Yolk). There is also a corner market up on the corner (we needed to go get coffee, creamer, and bottled water). The bedroom is an interior room with no windows, so make sure you set an alarm if you want to ever wake up. The bed was so comfortable and it's easy to keep sleeping. There is no view from the loft. The 2 windows in the living room face a wall of a building, so we had no clue what the weather was like outside. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend Amanda's place. She was very helpful and replied to emails immediately when we had questions.
