Where do I begin? Eric, the host, went above and beyond in hospitality. Eric is super-freindly and helpful, he was right there when I had a question, but at the same time my stay here felt very private. The loft was smart, clean, well-designed, well-appointed, tastefully decorated and comfortable. The bed / bedding was awesome, as was the shower. (Eric where can I get that same bedding for my bed at home?! :) ) The location was amazing- right on Lake Harriet which is safe and friendly with cafes and shopping within a block. Most mornings, after sleeping like a baby, I went for a walk around the lake. At Lake Harriet there are other walkers and cyclists, but it’s not too busy and there are fewer strollers than at other lakes. The view is beautiful any time of year. When I wasn’t enjoying the lake, I could easily zip around town from this location. I stayed 5 days and I wish I was still there! Eric’s loft has totally raised my expectations for AirBnb…this is so much better than staying at any hotel. My only fear is that other people are going to find out about this gem and I will never be able to book it again!! Thanks for everything Eric, I hope to stay at your loft again!
