- Although it's just a short flight of stairs to get to the apartment on the second floor, the building has no elevator (it's over 200 years old) so those with disabilities may have issues getting to the apartment.
- Some people love lofts and others not so much. The open style floor plan is great for people who want to share space with their friends and loved ones. But if you really need your privacy, a loft may not be right for you.
- Although we allow toddlers, the loft does have stairs which can make some people uncomfortable.
