⁂ Shadyside Loft - Prime Area & Luxury Finishes ⁂

Very cozy and really great bedding and decor! Very close to restaurants and shops in Bloomfield. We enjoyed it!!

The apartment was up to date and super clean. The hosts were great with communication. I would stay here again as well as recommend these hosts to anyone.

I thought the property was poorly maintained. None of the lamps in the bedroom worked nor in the kitchen. The owner directed me to check the circuit breakers in the celler. Lucky I didin't fall down the stairs and break a neck. The B/R carpet was filthy. The washer was full of mold and smelled like sewage. The entrance light didn't work making it dangerous to walk in and out. On street parking was sketchy. There were no supplies to the dishwasher. There were not addequate replacement sheets. The linens and towels were of low quality. The stair to the entrance had no hand rail. The neighborhood was described as Shadyside, it was actually the ghetto of Bloomfield. I'm done with VRBO. It was my second of two bad experiences with the company.

I'll try to give a balanced review with both praise and criticism where it's due. GOOD: The b&b is well equipped, with washer/dryer that includes laundry soap. The shower is clean with plenty of hot water and good pressure. And the two queen beds were quite comfortable. BAD: This was listed as sleeping 5, with 2 queens and 1 twin futon. But that twin futon was nothing of the kind. It was a standard couch about 5'7 across that did NOT pull out. I've never met anyone who accidentally referred to a generic couch as a twin futon so make of that suggestive wording what you will. Since there were 3 of us, with each of us needing his own bed, and all of us being taller than 5'7, one of us ended up having to stay elsewhere. The response by the host was to all this was that it's important to clarify that the sofa does not count as bedding, as it is not a sofa bed -- again, conflicting with the listing -- and that they would certainly explore it and make any necessary adjustments to the wording. Which was of zero help. Other issues: The b&b LOOKS clean but was very dusty. Also, the couch was stained, and when we stripped the beds at the end of our stay, one of the mattresses and one of the pillows had large stains. Gross. I took pictures to document all of this. Finally, note that there is a bar close by and it can get quite loud at night and run late into the night. Overall, I would never stay here again. Draw your own conclusions.

stayed here twice now for two separate work trips. such a great spot. highly recommend. perfect location and very comfortable.

Really enjoyed my stay it was the perfect escape. I would highly recommend to others. Bedding was so cozy and the unit had everything I needed.
