First thing to note is this place is a basement, not a loft. They tell you that after you reserve and give you the option to cancel, but at that point you've been searching on Airbnb for 2-3 hours and just go with it. To access the apartment you walk down the side of the owners house, (not the host) through the back yard and down some somewhat steep and narrow stairs. (especially if you have luggage) The apartment has some natural light with a large, full height window well alone one side of the building. Interior lighting however is very bright and could really use some dimmer switches to make the place more relaxing in the evening. A few more throw rugs would also make the wood floor more comfortable on the feet. Overall the place is fine, newly constructed and we'll appointed. It is managed by a third party rental agency so don't expect the service and attention to detail of a superhost/owner.
