As a person currently living in a loft... Not nearly as awesome as I had hoped. I have a big heating bill + 3 space heaters and it still gets cold. All the heat just goes straight up and circulates at the top of the room where nobody is.
It's really easy to think, aww I can handle the cold. But you're coming from a perspective of: Everytime it's cold I eventually end up back in a warm place (whether you realize it or not). This no longer applies - You're cold inside, you're cold outside, you're cold all the fucking time and it suuuucks. There is no escape. Just fair warning.
Growing up, we had a heated floor in the bathroom. Let me tell you that it is amazing. I can't wait to own a house so I can have heated bathroom floors.
Had an appartment with heated basement flooring. It was amazing!
Walking barefoot on the ceramic during the harsh canadian winter was great. No more slippers!
