The Lofts @ Ivy Lane

Love the aesthetic and feel of the place — very modern and beautiful. Walking distance from the shops in town and close to Seattle Coffee Company. Liked the kitchen — it has an air fryer, stove, and oven, which makes it great for self-catering. The fridge is small, but still big enough for a week’s worth of food. I absolutely loved the fireplace — it’s just a pity that the weather was hot and sunny most days, so we didn’t really get to enjoy it. They did provide a bag of firewood, fire starters, and cleaning equipment for the fireplace, which was a lovely touch. The smart TV was amazing — we were able to enjoy a movie or two on the DStv Stream. The bed was good, clean, and very comfortable. A lot of blankets and pillows were provided, and the electric blankets were ready to use. There’s a big closet with a steamer for your clothes and a hair dryer available. I communicated with the owner about some light fixtures not working. Although I didn’t receive a direct response from them, they did come and fix the issue right away. Staff was very friendly and helpful they came every day to clean dishes and empty dustbins. Check out was a breeze.

The location is close to all the stores, which I loved because everything is within walking distance. However, with that comes late nights where people can be noisy, and the music from nearby restaurants can make it hard to sleep, take naps, or fully relax. So overall, this would be great for people who plan to go out often and spend less time at home, or for those visiting out of season when there are fewer people around. The kitchen sink is a bit awkward, but the space is still very usable. Doing dishes was a bit tricky due to the lack of a proper drying rack—they only provided a plastic tray. There isn’t a dedicated cupboard for food, so we had to keep everything on the counter, and there was no spot to hang dish towels. One bag of firewood was provided, but unfortunately it was wet, so we couldn’t use it. Smart tv is an excellent touch but I would always recommend having a useable HTMI cable. I would also recommend getting a lamp for the living area just so that you don’t necessarily have to put on the main light. Bed was comfortable after putting back one of the legs of the bed. Only downside to the bedroom was that there were no bed side lamps so if the main light is off it is very dark not very romantic. Overall, the bathroom is very nice. The only downside is that the sink is quite small, although it’s still very usable. The toilet kept making noises, which can be a bit disturbing, and the shower head is also a little small. I also noticed that the towels are not too big. I communicated with the owner about some light fixtures not working. Although I didn’t receive a direct response from them, they did come and fix the issue right away. The staff cleaned every day, which was appreciated, but we weren’t informed about it beforehand. We only found out after a scare when we came home and saw everything open, which was quite unsettling. Check-in wasn’t very easy.

Clean and located near everything. We could walk to all nearby eateries.

Next to the main road. Trucks were passing by the whole night. Besides comfort and cleanliness, there’s a need to invest in sound proof windows or whatever that will the nose away
