Lauren's place is really great. The loft space itself is beautiful, clean and pretty spacious. The decor is minimalist and nice, with lots of plants.

The location is good, close to two 24 hour street cars and a short bus ride away from the subway. Everything you could need is in close walking distance: coffee shops, restaurants, bars, shopping, entertainment, etc. There is no air conditioning but because the kitchen and bathroom are partially underground, it keeps the apartment fairly cool. The entrance was private and convenient.

Two things to note is that there is no dining room table, only a coffee table in the living room which was just perfect for us but if you are looking to entertain maybe not ideal. Also, the apartment has large, bright windows which are lovely in the day time but have no curtains! So not the best if you want to sleep past 7:30 am.

All in all it was a great place, and I would definitely stay here again.
