I arrived late to be greeted be Jeff who was all smiles and who made me feel at home. The Loft is essentially a partly finished out attic space. What it lacks in decor, it makes up for in coziness. The bed is a queen and the bedding pillows and towels are all good quality. There are 3 skylights that are low enough that you can see the city and the water from 2 of them. The 3rd affords some of the finest airplane watching I have ever experienced anywhere in the world, as the landing flight path is directly overhead.
Some things to note : The ceiling is low, so not perfect for very tall people. The staircase (the shared bath is at the bottom) is very narrow so difficult for large people or large luggage.
My favorite thing about this historic house is it's location. Everything is walkable, and it's a block away from Little Italy. I even walked to the airport for my flight, but that took about 40 minutes.
At $40/night, which was the deal Michael gave me, I believe the Loft was a good value.
