Lauren's loft was spectacular, honestly... I was amazed when I walked up the two flights of steps and entered such an open and tastefully done place. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the showers and jacuzzi tub were relaxing, the terrace, grill, air conditioner and everything worked well and was more than I could have asked for. Lauren was sweet and responsive- even meeting us on the day of check out per my request! The location is great, though we could have taken the train to save on time, my group and I did a lot of walking. I would say it's about a 25 minute walk to Old Port and the other major areas. The neighborhood is safe despite the look of some buildings and a few homeless around- which is what you'll see in any big city really. I would definitely rent from this place again, I had a small group of 4 so it was almost too big!
