Emily was there to greet us when we arrived, and gave us a comprehensive tour of the Loft. It is exactly as described, clean, neat and comfortable. Being former residents of Belmont Shore, we didn't need any recommendations about the area, although first-timers should be aware that streets are very narrow (many being one-way), and parking can be a problem. However Emily has a carport for one vehicle, so it was no problem for us. On the plus side you can walk from one end of Belmont Shore to the other in about 1/2 an hour so everything you may need is within walking distance. Emily gets an A+, and we would not hesitate to rent from her again.
