  Recently it was shown that, in an effective description motivated by loop
quantum gravity, singularities of the Kruskal space-time are naturally resolved
[1,2]. In this note we explore a few properties of this quantum corrected
effective metric. In particular, we (i) calculate the Hawking temperature
associated with the horizon of the effective geometry and show that the quantum
correction to the temperature is completely negligible for macroscopic black
holes, just as one would hope; (ii) discuss the subtleties associated with the
asymptotic properties of the space-time metric, and show that the metric is
asymptotically flat in a precise sense; (iii) analyze the asymptotic fall-off
of curvature; and, (iv) show that the ADM energy is well-defined (and agrees
with that determined by the horizon area), even though the curvature falls off
less rapidly than in the standard asymptotically flat context.
