Wow, what an amazing place, we are so happy we found it! This is a beautiful Gastown loft in an over 100-year-old heritage warehouse conversion building (we learned this from the caretaker Andrew, he was so nice) that has all the old-world charm we were looking for which included post and beam, brick, Iron, and concrete for building materials. We loved the added touch of a vintage Vitrola record player with a healthy collection of all the classics which we used a lot!
It was right in the heart of Gastown which has excellent restaurants and bars and a fantastic vibe minutes' walk from the loft. From this place you can get to any venue without a car - this is a must for us when we choose city accommodations. It also has a secure courtyard that has loads of space to hang out along with BBQs!
If you're looking to park the car for a week, and have a beautiful space to relax in (A/C was outstanding) we can highly recommend Melissa's space. As an added benefit, when we travel we are also using Airbnb to get design inspiration for our own home, this has plenty of interesting pieces that will add to your creative exposure.
