We stayed at the loft for 3 nights, and it met our expectations - it was very much as advertised and photos accurately reflected the property. Great location - just a short walk to both the beach/boardwalk and the Venice canals. The main space is quite large - large enough for my teen to use as a dance studio. Kitchen was decently stocked (toaster, coffee maker, blender, etc.), wifi worked great and the beds/bedding were comfortable. The only down side was that the unit is right at ground level abutting the sidewalk, so opening the windows/blinds would mean zero privacy. The bedroom is on the street side, but the noise wasn't as bad as I had first expected. Didn't meet Alba or her assistant, but check-in was smooth, and they were available to answer an on the spot parking question. Having a spot to park was a plus, and really a must have for the neighborhood.
