We loved staying in Rainey's North Shore Loft! The location is excellent, and it's in a nice, quiet neighborhood 2 blocks from great beaches. The loft was clean and comfortable - with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the basket of fruit on arrival - what a treat! We also used the washer and dryer and gas grill just downstairs from the unit. If you stay here, you really should make sure to hit Ted's Bakery (just 4 blocks away) at least once. The pastries and pies are fantastic. The only warning - watch your head in the loft bedroom (and try not to sleepwalk). The ceiling is low (as others have noted) - but we didn't have any issues - you learn quickly. ;-)
Lastly, Rainey was a wonderful host - pointing us to several great beaches, hikes and restaurants (Luibueno's was fantastic - thanks Rainey!). We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when we come back to the North Shore!
