This place was everything we needed and wanted. Very comfortable, clean, had all the amenities, and plenty of space for the two of us. We walked and explored the town and parks nearby without needing our car. Highly recommend!

The loft was beautifully designed and matched the description! Though no onsite parking, we had no issues parking on the street right near the apartment. It was so nice having a washer and dryer and the downtown location was so amazing for walking to shops and restaurants! A few minor issues were communicated with the host and promptly replied to.

Please allow to say that Darryl was beyond excellent! He was extremely polite and responsive throughout our entire stay. Quite simply; dealing with a person like Darryl made our whole experience all that much better. Not to mention that the property was clean, well equipped and offered a fine location. Again, we could not have asked for a better host, thank you for having us sir. Cordially, Mark Shannon

Daryl was an amazing host and the apartment was fantastic. Everything looked brand new and very well maintained, and the bedroom was huge and very comfortable. The apartment is perfectly located right on the main street in the heart of Gloucester, within walking distance to all the restaurants, bars, and shops. Parking was very easy, the check-in instructions were simple to follow, and Daryl was very fast and responsive. He also gave us great recommendations on places to check out around town. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely recommend staying here. I’d gladly stay here again in the future.

Darryl's apartment was the perfect place for our weekend getaway before the holidays. It was clean, quiet and convenient to shops, restaurants, the docks and the promenade. The apartment is in the perfect location to walk the Harborwalk and learn fun facts about Gloucester's history. After doing that, my husband and I poked around in the shops on Main St. We had the perfect weekend! Darryl was the perfect host and we'd stay in his apartment again in a heartbeat.

We loved the loft! It was in the perfect location; right on Main Street so lots of restaurants and shops were just down the street. We hope to come back to explore the area some more. The loft was so beautiful and welcoming. So many little touches—kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, a coffee station set up with coffee and tea, even ear plugs in the nightstands. The host really went above and beyond to create an inviting space to stay. And Larry was extremely prompt and helpful in responding to my messages.
