Contemporary, Fully Renovated Loft in Little Italy
Book this spectacular contemporary loft with 25 foot ceilings & views! The loft is in an area with a 9.8/10 walk score & known for having the best restaurants, bars &shops.

Only steps from the waterfront, you decide if you want to enjoy cocktails & cuisine in the night scene or relax all day walking along the harbor. Free parking spot with access to all.

Spacious apartment, old world charm
Our open-space apartment is full of charm and character. From the Spanish-tiled private entry to the footed tub shower, you will experience a unique feeling. Enjoy the nearby vibrant restaurant scene as well as the rooftop deck with its harbor view! The ceilings are low in a couple spots and could be a challenge for folks who are especially tall. My boyfriend is 6'4" and has learned to adapt! It may be something to consider. House noises travel in this old home, so it can be a factor for some.
