5. Gorgeously renovated loft (from USD 100)
This refurbished third-floor loft is a real gem. Not only is the loft comfy but the host takes care of their guests by providing - per night - a gift certificate of 20 USD to the neighborhood Taylor Cafe. The cool lighting is certainly the first thing you notice when you walk through the door and the ivory-like color scheme adds to the expansive feel of the space. The top-notch washer and dryer provide extra convenience so laundry is a breeze. The kitchen area offers a great place to prepare a meal and there’s a splendid island for dining.
