9.8/10 Exceptional! (31 reviews)
We had a wonderful two‑night stay in this tastefully designed, modern, and well‑equipped loft apartment. Everything we needed was readily available, and the quality of the furnishings and décor exceeded what we’ve seen in similar rentals - especially the beautifully restored original timber flooring upstairs, which added real character. The location is excellent, just steps from N High Street’s breakfast spots, restaurants, and shops. Because it’s so central, parking required a bit of flexibility, but the owners provided clear guidance on which designated parking options were included in the rental, so it ultimately wasn’t an issue. Overall, the atmosphere and thoughtful design of the space made our visit to the area especially enjoyable, and we’d happily stay here again — though we’d appreciate an 11 a.m. checkout instead of 10 a.m. next time.

The communication was phenomenal! Host reached out to us prior to check-in to ensure we had received access and parking information to the property, then again after check-in time, to confirm everything was to our liking and we had no needs. Great customer service! The location neighborhood was beautiful, peaceful & walkable. Finally, the home was just lovely. Very clean, comfortable & bright. The live plants were also a lovely addition (they are very happy). Home has lots of stairs, so just be prepared, in case that is an issue. Highly recommend!
