The Funkiest Loft In Town
Introducing the bright bohemian Funky Loft in Brooklyn, NY!
It is a newly renovated loft in a 1920s industrial building located in Brooklyn’s artsy neighborhood of Bushwick. The vintage details, huge windows, skylights, and a mixture of colors, all help to create a charming atmosphere.
The Funky Loft has 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, hardwood floors, and an open kitchen and living space. It also has a central heat and a/c unit, an awesome speaker system, washer & dryer, and incredible natural light!
Fun fact: The building was built in the 1920’s and still has some of the original brick walls!!!
Some other details that make this place special are the vintage cherry wallpaper accent wall, 1950’s Coca-Cola Refrigerator, green velvet vintage couch, large Navajo area rug, lush plants, one-of-a-kind vintage furniture and props, a beautiful seafoam kitchen, a kitschy 1970’s themed bathroom with wild animal wallpaper, sliding wood barn doors, AND an indoor swing hanging from the rafters.
If you’re looking for a quirky, fun, artsy place to stay, then The Funky Loft is DEFINITELY for you!
Plus, it’s only a 30-minute subway ride from Manhattan; so you’re able to experience the city while also enjoying quiet evenings in Brooklyn.
Cozy Rooms
The Funky Loft has 3 rooms and a loft (where the hosts stay).
While I was there, of course I had to stay in the room that reminded me of a tropical getaway. The bed spread had large green banana leaves all over, a bamboo bookshelf, and twinkle lights. Good vibes only!
I shared this room with a friend of mine and we had enough room for 2 carry on luggages and 2 large checked bags! Also, the full sized bed was unbelievably comfortable (new memory foam mattress)!
This room has a sliding barn door, so there is no lock. However, have no fear. Our hosts were home most of the time and the other guests in the loft were kind, considerate, and sweet!
Behind the pink and yellow door is another room called by the hosts a ‘NY Backpacker’s Dream’. It is the only bedroom with a lock and key.
The room is very spacious. Not only is there space to hang your clothes, but there is room beneath the bed to store whatever you like. The twin sized memory foam mattress fits perfectly between 2 walls (see picture) and is 74 inches long. It is approximately 36 inches off the ground with a step stool to get up, so there is 36 inches of space underneath.
My favorite part about this room were the two windows that open to the outside. This made for some gorgeous natural light, perfect for reading during the day and watching the moon from your bed at night.
The third room was occupied by another guests while we were there so I was unable to take photos, however, here is some information about it in case you’re interested in staying!
This room has a window that opens into the living room and a sliding barn down. It has a size full memory foam mattress, full length mirror, exposed brick, and built in shelf. Perfect for one or two people!

Kitschy 1970’s Themed Bathroom
There is only one bathroom on the premise so each guest and hosts must share.
Since you are sharing, it’s important to be respectful of the rules. For example, if you use your own toiletries, please store them in your room. It would be very difficult to have 5-8 different individual’s toiletries all over the bathroom.
The hosts are kind enough to include towels, Q Tips, cotton swabs, iron, hair blow dryer, shampoo & conditioner, body wash and tampons/pads!
While it was smaller, I honestly loved this bathroom because of the amazing jungle theme! How cute is the wallpaper??
Introducing, Your Host!
Marcella was an AirBNB host in LA for 4 years and was featured in their magazine at the ‘AirBNB Open’ in November 2016! She lives in The Funky Loft in Brooklyn with her boyfriend Antonio, so there will always be a host present. Antonio is an artist and from Portugal. Both are very welcoming and love sharing their home.

I would totally stay here! I love design forward accomodations and the photos would be so cute! Love your photos of the place 🙂
Aw Angie I adore this place! And I would love to stay someday! NY is still on my bucket list so I’m writing this place down. I was pretty much sold as soon as I saw the swing!

Ah you MUST go to NYC soon!! And definitely stay at The Funky Loft ? The swing and the pink/yellow door is totally meant for you!
Omg this place looks so cute!!! I love how vintage it is!!! I would definitely go check it out for a little overnight staycation!!! Brooklyn has some really cute areas!!
Love this! It feels so homey and relaxing ? I love barn doors aswell, didnt you have any nice photos of those?? How does breakfast work? Do you have to buy yourself or just go out eating?☕ ? Deff a must stay when we go to N.Y ? And Marcella seems to be so sweet ?
In some of the photos, the barn doors are just off to the side ? As for breakfast, they hosts provide you with cereal, bread, jam, and coffee, which is very sweet of them. As for the other meals, we were out and about in NYC and Brooklyn so we just stopped for lunch and dinner.
That’s so cute! I love finding quirky, wonderful places to stay!
I had been following this loft on your stories! It’s so dreamy. I would love to stay here at least once!
If your ever in NYC, definitely make sure to stay here ?
I loved Staying here with you! Your writing took me back to our time here :)… I kinda wished I had A blog like this to read before our stay! You’re the best girl!
Already miss you babe!! Seriously had such a blast! ❤️
I love all the antique finishings, it makes this place so unique. The bright colored kitchen and swing in the middle of the room is so fun! I would love to check it out!
The swing was sooooo rad! But that cherry red fridge next to the blue cabinets made for such a lovely photo backdrop!
good to know this all for my next trip! thank you for information ??
Omg, so cute! I would love to stay here as I love brooklyn. I love lofts and being that I live in Manhattan I sometimes like to escape and explore other quaint areas around. Thanks for letting us know about this cool loft, def. has a lot of beautiful decor vignettes all around!

You should totally check it out, either for a stay or doing a photo shoot! It’s so much fun!! 🙂
Very cute!! I’m in Manhattan quite frequently, but I haven’t explored Brooklyn very much. Your post reminds me that I really need to roam around Brooklyn! This stay is tempting, although I’m used to the AirBNBs where you get the whole place to yourself!
I had never been to Brooklyn before this trip and I was pleasantly surprised! I love the vibes and street art! Such a neat place to check out! I had actually never stayed at an Airbnb where you shared the place with the hosts and other guest but I promise, at The Funky Loft, it’s so fun and a lovely experience!
Thank you for detailed review better than trip advisor ?. Love that this place is also open for photo shoots! Reminds me of our hostels in Iceland and Barcelona! Totally instagram-worthy! Have to check it out next time I’m in NYC!
Haha yes! You know you’re doing a good job when you beat trip advisor! ? Definitely check it out when you’re in NYC next!
I love the vibe of the whole place its so beautiful and the swing in the livingroom just seals the deal for me. Love it
I expect we’ll see this place in some television shows scenes soon with the option to film in there! I also now believe that every home should include a swing. Totally adorable!
I totally expect it too!! Definitely will be happening in the near future!
This place is so cool! Been seeing it on IG a lot recently and now I can finally understand why it’s so poplular! The decor is absolutely so splendid and quirky! Love it. ? really helpful and insightful post Angie, loved that you covered all the little details too! Would definitely stay here if I’m ever in New York! ?? and beautiful photos! ✨?
All those funky, adorable decorations and design are all because of the host, Marcella! 🙂 She is just so sweet and amazing! Really makes the loft so special!
Angie, thank you so much for this super comprehensive and informative guide!! This loft seriously looks like a dream loft, I had no idea it existed but will definitely keep it in my mind if I drop by NYC again! Also, your photos here are absolutely gorgeous, you have serious talent girl!! <3
Wow thank you so much babe!! So sweet of you! 🙂
Wow, this place looks so cool! Definitely an unique NYC experience
This is just what I have been looking for! I am currently in the middle of planning my NYC trip, and was looking at places in Brooklyn. This ticks all of the boxes! Thanks so much for sharing Angie. I love following all of your adventures!

THe funky loft…! Absolutely love it! I’d take that over a hotel room any day! I just love the style and colours and boldness! Who wouldn’t want a safari wall!
As always super informative and very helpful for trip planning!!
Looks like you had fun!!… I doubt there was just one bottle of wine for you girls haha ?? but the one made a great photo!

I would love to stay there! NYC is my fav city of the world. I love this vibes so much! And this colorful kitchen is sooo beautiful ♡
You HAVE to stay here!! Omg even if just for spending time with the hosts and taking pictures! 🙂
Huh, yanno im generally not a hostel or b&b gal, but the host’s interview absolutely stole my heart. Or maybe im just biased because #LAvibes . She’s probably the coolest person I’ve never met hahah. Great post on such a wonderful place!
Same! But it really doesn’t feel like an Airbnb because of the love and care that Marcella has put into it! Honestly, she’s the coolest host and human being ever!!
Love that you put this whole review together! Just seeing the photos made me want to stay here but after reading everything I HAVE to stay here now! Looks incredible 🙂
Honestly, one of my favorite stays ever!! You would take some bomb photos here too!
I would love to stay there especially since brooklyn and manhattan are nearby 🙂
It really is the perfect location! 🙂
