My honest rating of this place would be a 4.5 out of 5 but as there is no partial stars I decided to round up instead of down but mention it in my review. For the most part we were fairly happy with staying here but there were a few issues that we came across that I believe should be mentioned.
I’ll start with the positives. The place was very clean upon arrival and the self check in process was simple without any complications. We also loved the location as there were plenty of coffee shops, breweries, and food spots to explore. The loft has a small desk which was useful as I did work a bit each day during this particular vacation. Communication was great from the host as we did have to reach out once.
Moving on… we did arrive to the loft to find that there was a small homeless encampment setup across the street from the building. Although I don’t fault the host because this was out of her control, it was something we weren’t expecting based on all our previous visits to this part of town. Our host Sarah was proactive about the situation and reached out the same day we arrived to apologize for it and let us know she’d reached out to city services to take care of the issue. Unfortunately it did take the city most of the week we were there to clean up the encampment so we did feel a bit unsafe when we’d return to the Airbnb late at night. Aside from that, the only other minor negatives I’d mention is there was a really loud squeak to the bed and the dryer wasn’t working. Sarah did offer to let us use the dryer in another unit nearby when we reached out about it so that was greatly appreciated. Ultimately, I’d still stay again as Sarah is a gracious host that I know takes care of her guests.
