This property has to be one of the nicest, cleanest, and most well stocked properties I have stayed in. Even a little unique! While only technically one very long room, it is arranged for you to feel like it has some separation. I stay the equivalent of 2-3 months a year in rent by owner properties and have been doing this for over 20 years, so I have had many properties to compare this one to. The communication from the owner was above average. The property is in downtown and within easy walking distance to stores, restaurants, bakeries, night life, etc. It has a fabulous and well furnished deck. It is noted in the description that there are 26-28 stairs you must climb to reach the property. There were two sections that were reasonably steep which made it a little difficult with larger rolling suitcases and a cooler. Anyone who has any difficulty climbing stairs or carrying items up stairs would need to take note. Otherwise, it is “worth the climb”

Felt like home

We had a wonderful stay. We were out and about most of the day but did all of our own cooking instead of eating out. There is everything you need plus some! The bedding was great and I really appreciated all the throw blankets and comfy pillows. You can tell that Karen has thought of every scenario. You won’t wish you had anything… all the little things you may forget to pack, don’t worry… she’s got you covered and it’s probably there! Hopefully we can come back someday.

Absolutely perfect loft!!! Without question this is the best place we have ever rented. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed and happy. The loft is impeccably appointed with beautiful furnishings and so well equipped. The host has payed such attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean. The online pictures don’t do it justice. We formed great memories here that my husband and I will look back on with fondness for many years. If you have the opportunity to rent this place, you will not be disappointed!

Gracious hosts, beautiful loft & sparkling clean!

I planned a short get-away just far enough from home for me & my husband, as we are very busy and spread too thin too often. I found this *beautiful* loft while searching online, we could not have been happier! The hosts, Karen & Monica, were absolutely fantastic! Karen stayed in communication before check-in & throughout our stay. When we arrived, the loft was very inviting with lights turned on, a few menus from area restaurants, a handwritten card welcoming us & candies. The loft was CLEAN, I am very particular and that was one of the first things I noticed. The bathroom was so clean, it literally sparkled! The loft is exactly as pictured online, actually- it's better. There were plentiful snacks, coffee, teas, etc. available. They have thought of *everything* such as extra toiletries in case something was forgotten, multiple boxes of tissues located in the just right places, OTC medications for sudden ailments, plush throw blankets on the sofas, a fully equipped kitchen and even a sound machine in the bedroom! We had the pleasure of meeting Karen & Monica when we visited their store beside the loft, Cranberry Lane. They are super friendly and were genuinely happy to have the opportunity to host us. I can't say enough good things about our experience and stay at the loft. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about it, the location was perfect for us as well. I hope we can again schedule time in our busy lives to "unwind" and visit Bristol & the Urban Loft again!
