The loft is super chic and big-city feeling, but also cozy and surprisingly quiet. My teen daughter and I had an awesome time living a big city loft life, shopping in the cool downtown shops, enjoying the Christmas lights, and eating out at local restaurants. There are also beautiful walks and runs right out the front door. The apartment is even nicer than it looks in the the pictures. I highly recommend it for a getaway for two. As it says in the write-up, the stairs to the loft would not be safe for small children or some folks with mobility issues.
