Great place for Vandalia

Haley’s loft is perfect for a short or long stay at Vandalia. Way better than the hotels in the area and at the same price, with much more amenities. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Great Place

I was traveling into town for work and this place was perfect. It was very clean, spacious, and accommodating. The location seemed to be very good as well, even though I didn’t have much time to check out the local scene. I will be traveling to the area regularly for work, and fully plan to stay here again!

Loft was super clean, spacious and quiet. Building built in 1861 so very unique space. Plenty of street parking. Air conditioning was great and a selection of restaurants and pubs down the street. Lots of nicely restored building-one can feel the history! Host communicated immediately and check in/out easy and seamless.

Very nice apartment in a good location!

I enjoyed our stay. The apartment was comfortable and well taken care of. The only thing I would suggest is to use less fabric spray on the bed and furniture, as the smell was rather strong. We needed to air the place out for a bit when we arrived as a result.

Our place was clean, comfortable and smelled fresh. We only used it for sleeping but looked like the kitchen was well equipped. The fold out sofa bed was not very comfortable. I would definitely recommend it if climbing stairs is not a problem. One of our party counted 37 stair steps.

Such a great place

The property was beautiful. I was worried about the stairs being on the 3rd floor but honestly it wasn't that bad. We were out around town going to the restaurants and shops around town we spend our evenings there. We were blown away by how cute the place was. The exposed brick was gorgeous and the beds were so comfortable and the room was just felt like home. The host was also really helpful with recommending places to go and had a idea of the events around town they were really helpful and welcoming. We will absolutely be back!

The location was outstanding! The loft was directly across the street from the capitol building from when Vandalia was the Illinois state capital and Abraham Lincoln a legislator there. We wandered over there and the docent was exceptional. The loft is truly IN town, so within easy walking distance of restaurants, the local distillery, pubs, shops, and points of interest. I had no qualms about anything related to the cleanliness of the property! It's a cute, quaint, well- decorated place. Haley's communications were excellent and timely, too.

The property was actually very nice to stay in and was very close to where I was attending a conference so it was perfect and it was immaculately clean. I checked the mattress....NO TRACE of bed bugs. Fully equipped kitchen although I did not use it. My only complaint is that it has a single airconditioner in the window which is insufficient for the place I struggled to sleep because of that. I slept on the couch. Aside from that it was a great place to stay.
