My husband and I recently rented this space for what we thought would be a classy and fun event. We arrived to find the space absolutely filthy. This is because the owner pockets every renter's security/cleaning deposit and never hires anyone to clean. The loft is being illegally sublet for nightly events, much to the chagrin of the other tenants in the building. One such tenant actually stormed into my party and screamed at me and my guests for the noise being too loud. More than get angry, I really felt bad for the guy. He obviously deals with this situation a lot and had reached his breaking point. Needless to say, it was an abrupt and very embarrassing end to my party (one hour before it was supposed to be over according to the contract.) The sound system also broke down three separate times during the party because the system ""over-heated."" Even after all of this, my husband and I were still sure to leave the space spotless (much cleaner than we found it!) in hopes of at least getting our security deposit back. We were wrong. Even after promising my husband the deposit on the phone, Jacob never refunded the money to my account and ignored my husband's repeated calls and emails. This man is completely dishonest. I just hope my review will forewarn others before they make the mistake of doing business with him.
