We were fortunate to get 1 of 2 parking spaces by the front door, not sure where others park. Full kitchen was very nice. AC worked well. Quiet and homey feel. As for location, only blocks from downtown, but on the walk there are sleeping homeless. Streets are kept clean, though.

Fun loft room with a single bed under the stairs for kids or smaller adults. Great location made it easy to walk. If you are driving, make sure to add parking because on street parking is difficult to find and parking spots for the property are secure but very limited.

This place is great. Close enough to urban shops, good value, easy access, roomy, modern feel... and if you are an oddball energy efficiency person, you'll find a minisplit AC system, energy recovery ventilator, heat pump clothes dryer. Kind of a niche value set, I realize, but appreciated by energy nerds!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Communication was top notch, the Loft was awesome . The only thing I would say is if you need entertainment bring a laptop or tablet there are no tv’s in the loft, the WiFi was great though. We needed to be close to the Convention Center and it only took us about 10 minutes to walk there and Reading terminal. I would absolutely stay here again . Much better than a hotel!
