The Loft was all I hoped it would be- spacious, visually appealing, eco-friendly (I'm chemically sensitive), comfortable, and private. Gail and Eric made me feel right at home and Eric even went so far as to drive me downtown when my taxi didn't come. There are several restaurants within a very short walk. I had excellent breakfasts and a lunch at the Angry Baker (organic) and a memorable dinner at Black Creek Bistro. I shouldn't fail to mention that artwork by both hosts adds to the ambience. Although I was on my own to attend a professional conference, I would also recommend this for couples. Large closet space, table and seating areas, kitchenette, and a nice hot shower.
