Communication was great and the space was located close to everything we wanted to visit which was great and convenient. The bed was pretty uncomfortable, weird smell coming from the bathroom drains, and the outside of the building/neighbors were not super welcoming. Overall a fairly good stay.

Overall, this was a great little Vrbo! The proximity to downtown Traverse City and surrounding establishments was perfect. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The parking was convenient. It was a bit hot, being an upstairs loft unit without central AC, just FYI. Not the most comfortable bed in the world, but that is pretty standard in rentals. If you’re looking for an affordable stay close to downtown Traverse City, this is a great option!

While the unit was clean, my expectations based on the pictures were not what I was expecting. And we thought it was closer to downtown, more walkable. But bike shop was next door and that was great! Rented bikes and went all the way to Sutton Bay. Great trail! Unit was clean and comfortable.

The bed was an old spring bed, which was fairly uncomfortable to sleep on. The light switch on one side of the bed was broken, making the light unworkable. The towel rod on the back of the door was very loose and fell multiple times.

Cute Traverse City Spot with an Excellent Location!

The Bike Loft is a very clean space that has been recently updated and well maintained! The description of the inside of the Bike Loft is exactly as it was - no surprises. We found it to be quiet and well-stocked with the basic essentials. Communication with the hosts was excellent. They were very quick with responses. One of our favorite things about the Bike Loft had to be its location! Situated in a quaint well-established neighborhood, it was the perfect proximity to an affordable grocery store, great restaurants, shops and the water! We took the Tart Trail to Front Street and ended up walking near the water every night of our stay! We would highly recommend this spot for a couple or vacationing friend duo. Traverse City is a great town with lots to do in and around the city and the Bike Loft was a great home base!
