The space
You will adore the contrast of being right in the center of downtown while being able to walk up to a completely private loft with all the amenities of home. The walls are 12ft tall, providing such a cavernous feel. The original floors give this place rather the appeal, and the modern amenities will make you feel right at home. I LOVE the balcony overlooking Front Street. Talk about just sitting back, calming, people watching, and being able to savor the bustle from above.

Guest access
Entire Place. Quiet hours 10p-8a. No events.

No parking spaces for my loft. I park in the lot behind the building ($13/day) and sometimes find street parking right in front . There are multiple decks around and I just unload in the front (if space accepts) and then I move my car. Street parking is complimentary from 6:30pm-9:00am Monday through Saturday and complimentary on Sunday.

There is a walk up! One flight of stairs, no elevator.

Sleeps 6 means: Two beds (one queen, one king) and one queen air bed. As my spot is so roomy it comfortably sleeps 6. There is a couch as well which you could always do one on the couch and one on the air bed, I guess it would depend on who draws the short straw in your event or who isn't paying haha. Please disclose all overnight guests as we set up accordingly.

I have a similar unit (more modern in style) exactly adjacent to this unit, within same walk up. If you are booking a bigger event, let me know.

If you have any questions, please message me. I look forward to hosting you!
