A group of friends decided to stay together as opposed to getting separate hotel rooms and this place worked perfectly. One night there was 10 of us and we could have easily slept another 10. Everyone who entered the loft started with a WOW and the wows continued as we explored the space. The spa style bathroom is incredible; the layout creates multiple spaces while maintaining a feeling that you are still together; the kitchen is bigger than some of the kitchens in the local restaurants and equipped with everything so whether you just need to heat something up in the microwave or prepare a 5 course meal you are set to go; the view of the mountain is relaxing and the terrace creates a great outdoor space for barbecuing (yep there is even a bbq); if you like to eat out there is no shortage of restaurants right at the front door (from finer dining to greasy spoons) and the Metro (subway) is a short walk away. Be prepared to climb a few flights of stairs but once you reach the loft you'll agree it's well worth it! Valerie couldn't be nicer. My group is already talking about a return visit.
