Such a great space. Right across from the flower market. Tons of food and things to do in walking distance.. The loft itself made us not want to leave. We spent a lot of time just hanging out and watching movies. The beds were fantastic! The balcony is the best spot in downtown and perfect if there is a smoker in the group. Parking is super easy and you can see your car from the loft. I was surprised with all the windows how quiet it was- and with them open we didn’t run the heat or air the entire trip. And they all open! Old school loft windows that flip wide open! The black out curtains actually work. If you’ve ever wondered what the loft life is like this will make you a loft lover for life. As far as the area that is mentioned in the description by the owner. It made me nervous when I booked. But Like every downtown it has homeless on the street in the surrounding area but not as you enter or exit. Just a few blocks away. They are not aggressive and stick to themselves. We didn’t run Into a single pan handler. One block will be all brand new and bustling. The next block will have tents and more of the run down businesses. Then the next block a brand new Whole Foods. It is a huge shift going from the street into the lovely private lobby of the lofts. We felt very safe. There is even a security guard at night and he keeps the surrounding outside area patrolled as well. Don’t let the mention of the area make you take pause. We felt just as safe as we do in any larger city downtown.
