Felt like home
We had a wonderful stay. We were out and about most of the day but did all of our own cooking instead of eating out. There is everything you need plus some! The bedding was great and I really appreciated all the throw blankets and comfy pillows. You can tell that Karen has thought of every scenario. You won’t wish you had anything… all the little things you may forget to pack, don’t worry… she’s got you covered and it’s probably there! Hopefully we can come back someday.
Absolutely perfect loft!!!
Without question this is the best place we have ever rented. From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcomed and happy. The loft is impeccably appointed with beautiful furnishings and so well equipped. The host has payed such attention to detail. It was spotlessly clean. The online pictures don’t do it justice. We formed great memories here that my husband and I will look back on with fondness for many years. If you have the opportunity to rent this place, you will not be disappointed!

Gracious hosts, beautiful loft & sparkling clean!
I planned a short get-away just far enough from home for me & my husband, as we are very busy and spread too thin too often. I found this *beautiful* loft while searching online, we could not have been happier! The hosts, Karen & Monica, were absolutely fantastic! Karen stayed in communication before check-in & throughout our stay. When we arrived, the loft was very inviting with lights turned on, a few menus from area restaurants, a handwritten card welcoming us & candies. The loft was CLEAN, I am very particular and that was one of the first things I noticed. The bathroom was so clean, it literally sparkled! The loft is exactly as pictured online, actually- it's better. There were plentiful snacks, coffee, teas, etc. available. They have thought of *everything* such as extra toiletries in case something was forgotten, multiple boxes of tissues located in the just right places, OTC medications for sudden ailments, plush throw blankets on the sofas, a fully equipped kitchen and even a sound machine in the bedroom!
We had the pleasure of meeting Karen & Monica when we visited their store beside the loft, Cranberry Lane. They are super friendly and were genuinely happy to have the opportunity to host us.
I can't say enough good things about our experience and stay at the loft. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about it, the location was perfect for us as well. I hope we can again schedule time in our busy lives to "unwind" and visit Bristol & the Urban Loft again!

Everything you need!
Our Host and the property were amazing! Everything you could need has been thought of already. It's beautiful and exceptionally maintained! The location to all things downtown Bristol was perfect - no need to drive anywhere if you don't want.
The host was accommodating and promptly responded to questions. We did not have much time to explore the area but it appeared very accessible.

Best place in Bristol!
I've stayed at a lot of rentals, and this one was the best-equipped place I've ever stayed at. They thought of everything and made it available. It's a beautiful, comfortable place in a great location.
This loft is an absolute gem! Everything you would ever need for your stay has been provided. Rooftop deck was a great outdoor living extension to the condo. Great location for everything downtown. Ice cream and candy store on the first floor was fantastic also.

We have stayed at the loft before and enjoyed it so much we decided to stay again while visiting family. Anything you could possibly need during your stay is provided and then some. Karen has thought of every little thing and we will stay anytime we visit Bristol in the future. It truly feels like a home away from home.
