LOUD AND TIRED. This loft is exceptionally noisy. What was described as “downtown city noise” was - in reality - booming music that lasted until the wee hours, every single night. I am a New Yorker, so typically can sleep through sirens, garbage trucks, etc. however this was almost unbearable. We were there on weekdays, I can’t even imagine how loud it would be on a weekend. The loft is also located next to a shelter and a free public bathroom, which made for dozens of homeless people you had to nearly step over on the sidewalk to get out the door. The loft was very tired, and in need of renovating. While it was clean, the paint was chipped, cabinets didn’t open smoothly, and the closet door felt like it was about to fall off. Finally, my shower did not turn off on the first day, and I had to leave the water running full force for a few hours, as I could not wait for a repair person to arrive. It was frustrating and very anxiety provoking for the first day of my stay.
