My group of 8 arrived about an hour after the time we'd arranged with Valerie, but she was at the loft to welcome us and show us around. The space is great - especially the view from the deck - and the neighborhood has everything you could need within a 5-10 minute walk. I wish I had St. Henri coffee and Atwater Market within a few blocks of my house.

The only downside to our experience was that only one bedroom in the loft has AC and we happened to arrive on the hottest July 1st on record. Temps soon dropped, but for the first couple nights sleeping was a bit rough in the non-AC rooms.

That being said, we had a great stay and would happily come back, especially in the cooler months!
