We just returned from our second (possibly annual) visit to Valerie's loft. I can't say enough about what a great space this is, particularly for groups. We have friends who live in the neighborhood and we end up hosting when we're in town because it's such a wonderful space to gather, cook, eat, play games, etc. This time around we had our new 7 month old daughter in tow and the space was very family friendly. Valerie offered a crib if we needed one, there was plenty of options of where to set it up, and she was completely delighted by scooting across all the hard wood floors and watching the fish in the fish tank. So special to have one of the few grandfathered wood burning fireplaces in Montreal (they're banned in the city) on a cold November night. Now we just need to get it together to come in the summer when we can take advantage of the balcony space and in-door/out-door living.
