The loft was great overall.
Pros:
- really clean, beautiful space
- great view
- great, walkable neighborhood-- you can walk easily to Ralph's (Kroger) or Trader Joe's and some cute shops/coffee houses
- easy access to freeway
- close to everything
- AC if you need it
- super spacious and a great place to work or hang
- fast wifi
- great communication with the host
- easy arrival instructions
- easy to get in, even late after our flight was delayed several times
Cons:
- 4th floor, no elevator
- if you are tall, you'll have to be more careful crawling in and out of the loft bed
- no oven or toaster oven
- no duvet, just a comforter
- there are some homeless people on the walk to the grocery store but that's just any city in Cali I think. I walked there fine as a girl by myself.
- It seems like this loft used to be one huge unit, split into two. There is a hotel style 'attached room' door to the unit next door, and the wall between the two units seemed very thin since we could hear the conversation happening in the split unit. There are noise warnings about keeping volumes low and quiet hours of 10pm-8am all over the apartment, presumably for this reason.
- some very small, unfinished construction projects around the unit
Overall I'd say this is a great fit for a quiet couple or anyone who needs a productive workspace on the road.
