The loft is very stylishly decorated, and it looked exactly like the pictures. It was roomy and comfortable, and very peaceful. I also loved how light it was and it was heaven waking up with the sun shining directly into the place. The bed was nice, but he “bedroom” in the living room had absolutely no space to put your clothes; no closet, no drawer, no hangers. I ended up putting my suitcase open on the floor. The other bedroom had a very short clothing rack with a few hangers that would only hold shirts; my dresses and longer jacket would not have fit. The location was good, although it was further from the city than I had anticipated, and we spent quite a bit on Uber and lyft (between $30 - $50 each way). We did ride the ferry a few times which was super nice and relaxed, and it made for some amazing pictures. Overall, a good experience.
I would have loved to give a 5 star rating but there were a couple of issues that ended up being a big deal for me. Less than an hour after we confirmed our arrival, I received a text that the cleaner tested positive for COVID and a friend was taking over but couldn’t do the cleaning until around 4PM. We were already on our way to the loft, so we dropped off our luggage and left for a few hours while the place was cleaned. We arrived at 5:15 and the cleaner was still there but he was just finishing up. However, when he left I noticed that the garbage and recycling had not been emptied, and the fridge was dirty and full of food that the previous people had left. I texted Bee and she was quick to send the cleaner back to pick up the garbage, which he did but forgot the recycling – I asked him to wipe down the fridge. I didn’t check but after he left, I noticed that it was still dirty in several places, and he left two bottles of beer in the fridge (I am a sober person, so I wasn’t happy about that). The microwave was dirty too. We noticed a few other things as well. He left a hamper with the dirty towels and dirty sheets in the bedroom, which grossed me out to be frank. The toilet was not clean, and there were yellow spots at the bottom of the toilet where it is secured to the floor (you can just guess what that was). There were no hand towels in the bathroom (just 4 larger towels), there was only 1 ½ roll of toilet paper (I had to go out and buy more). While I am certainly sympathetic of anyone coming down with COVID, and the need to be flexible, a dirty apartment was not on my list and it really put a negative feeling on the experience.
