Beautiful, spacious, comfortable apartment. Amazing 15’ ceilings and a clean, fresh feel. The giant king bed and huge headboard made me feel like a queen. Would have been great for a writer’s retreat or a weekend getaway. I liked that it had a full kitchen, washer & drier, and that it was smack in the middle of downtown. The keypad entries made it easy to check in and out. Instructions were clear. Definitely would stay again.

Our Laurel visit was just what the doctor ordered. Excellent location and our room was great and our hostess, Candace was helpful. We will be back again.

This was the perfect landing spot for our weekend getaway. Was easy to walk to any downtown destination. The loft was wonderfully decorated and everything was cozy. Really enjoyed reading some of the provided books. If ever in Laurel again, will definitely stay again.
