This place blew my mind. Super clean and sleek lofts in the heart of old port. Quiet and comfortable retreat

10/10 Exceptional

Great location near shops, restaurants and water front yet our apartment was exceptionally quiet from outside noises. (Inner pipes would make a noise sometimes but by closing the bedroom door we didn't hear them from the bedroom). Clean design lines made for a sophisticated look yet the space was warm and welcoming. Well stocked kitchen with everything we needed for a few days of cooking, allowing us to enjoy great meals at home and save money by not eating out for every meal. Very comfortable bed was a plus! We would love to stay here again - it was great value for money.

Great location. Spacious. Very clean. Just had issues with the check in process but we are old. I just want a good ol’fashioned key card. I don’t want to be trying to download an app to get into my room.

Excellent space, so easy to access. Which there was a tiny bit more instruction on how to access the property and set up TV for streaming as the WiFi wasn’t working when we stayed. The space was beautiful, quiet and easily walkable to all of old port. Would stay again anytime!
