The photo does the "ERA Loft" total justice - it is "cool" - all done in tones of steel blue, beige, stainless steel, slate and, of course, an entire brick wall as this was a former carriage house. The square footage is small but the loft was obviously architect-designed and everything fits in beautifully. The kitchen has everything one could want and the TV is huge and the bathroom very cool indeed. As the airlines are wont to say in advertising business and first class travel. "let you vacation begin the minute you step on the plane, not the minutes you step off", and such is the case with this property. The vacation begins upon entering! The Loft is located in an extensive alley compound of super trendy, renovated carriage houses in the Le Droit Park section of DC, filled with trendy eateries these days (the host has provcided lots of details on this). There is an excellent "corner store" one block away to fill the fridge with breakfast fixings, drinks, wine and toiletries that may have been forgotten. The kitchen came stocked with delicious Trader Joe coffees.
