My husband and I enjoyed our stay in Portland and the loft was a great location! The loft has lots of extra touches that we both appreciated so much, the biscotti and snacks in the kitchen, coffee and tea, the extras in the bathroom (hair spray etc) and the endless supply of brochures about Portland and all the sights to see. She emailed us about new spots that had opened up in the neighbourhood that we made sure to visit. The loft is as described but the space is certainly older than it appears in the photos. All good, but just an observation. Also, the furniture wasn't the most comfortable, the couch just fits two people (but I suppose it encourages getting cozy!) and the other chair in the room is a hair salon chair,
The view from the deck is amazing (although it rained most of the time we were there) and I wish we could have had the opportunity to use it more. We didn't mind the four flights of stairs to walk up at all, it was just a bit of a challenge when you had your luggage, especially if you overpack...my bad. There are tenants in the house below and the insulation in the house isn't great seeing as it is an older building so we could hear them walking and talking quite a bit, especially on the weekend. Not a problem for us but something people might want to know.
We loved the neighbourhood and had some great drinks and food there, all within walking distance. Loved the area and look forward to returning. Thanks Tyra!
