The check in went smoothly and the host communicated quickly with us. We were in town for a baseball game and the loft served the purpose of having a place to sleep and cook a small meal or two. It was nice having the air mattress for our daughter as the futon was extremely uncomfortable. Would have been nice to have an extra comforter for the extra bed. There were some negatives to the place…it wasn’t well cleaned; there were cob webs in multiple places, the kitchen blinds were dirty. There was only one roll of toilet paper in one of the bathrooms and only one extra roll in the other. There was no kitchen washcloth, so we had to use a bathroom one. The parking was extremely difficult as it was first come, first served and we had to park a couple blocks down when we arrived later at night. If traveling alone, this might be a problem. Overall, the neighborhood seemed safe though. This was noted in other reviews, but I’ll state it again, the loft entrance is at the top of quite a long flight of steps, some of which were narrow and uneven. If you have trouble climbing stairs, this is NOT the place for you. We also didn’t care for how secure the front door was. There was only a dead bolt that locked. The handle always turned. This seemed a little unsafe. There were no directions or guide on what to do when we checked out. It would be nice if the host had a binder or folder or something that contained information on the property and also maybe some things to do in the area.
