This was our first stay at an Airbnb, so we were uncertain how it would go, whether it would be easy, would we feel safe, what if the place was not as advertised, etc. Well, if this is how all Airbnb's are, we are now lifelong customers. The Lift Bridge Loft is beautiful, clean, fresh, and exceeded our expectations. Cheris made the whole process easy and comfortable. Everything was as described, and the pictures accurately reflect the space. The high points are the look and feel of the loft, the quality of the appointments, the ease of working with the hosts, and the location. One point that was much better than expected was the rooftop deck. Very large, with a spectacular view of the river. The thing to be aware of is that as advertised, this is urban living in a bustling little downtown with bars, restaurants, public parking and retail spaces directly next door, below, and all around. If you are concerned about noise, late night street activity, live music, that is all part of the downtown, this may not be the place for you. With that being said, the loft itself is very solid and quiet. With the doors and windows closed and the air-conditioning on, our dog was relaxed and comfortable and the noise barely disturbed her despite this being a new place. One last comment that surprised us, but was not an issue, is that there is another loft right next door. The entry door to this loft is literally about a foot from the Lifts entry door. Also the neighbors rooftop deck is directly adjacent to the Lifts rooftop deck with no screening or privacy. This was no big deal for us as no one was there during our stay, but if someone had been there, and been using the deck, you are going to be in very close and open proximity to each other. All in all, we loved it, and hope to go back. Thank you Cheris for sharing your beautiful place with us.
