This property was such a great place to stay for a quick trip to Waco! It was very clean and cutely decorated. Our girls trip was so much fun and the loft was central to a lot of the things we wanted to do. Would recommend!

Property was as mentioned - lots of charm, spacious and clean. The host was amazing with communication. As some comments imply, noise travels a bit. I am not marking this down, as I feel that’s part of shared walls and the “charm” of being downtown (train travels regularly) but if you know you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs, etc. The lofts are above the best book store and very walkable to Silos and Dr. Pepper Museum.
