This was the cutest loft. The location was fantastic as you can walk to everything. It was clean, comfortable, decorated beautifully, and had everything you could ever need in the kitchen. Our host gave us a great deal of information to help with our stay, and there were snacks for us to enjoy. By far, one of the best stays we have had and we will definitely come back!

Best place to stay with the best hosts. Messaged that we would be in later than expected and they made sure we didn’t show up to a dark loft. We were so impressed and so grateful from moment one of our arrival. Karen and Monica thought of everything. Every little detail, things you might have forgotten were available and the instructions provided and labeling of the light switches was brilliant! We cannot wait to return. Highly recommend 100/100 best stay ever. Thank you for making our time at loft 3 an incredible experience and a fun memory.
