This place was very clean and very enjoyable. I was not aware that people were under me so there was slight noise that I could hear but nothing major. Beautiful place overall.

Perfect Worthington/Dublin Getaway

Simon’s place was amazing, so perfectly designed and ideal for a short or long term stay. I would create another trip to Central Ohio to just stay here. If this place is available, book it because you have hit the jackpot. The bed is fabulous and all other amenities are first class.

An unplugged winter get away

We enjoyed our stay at Simon Yau’s “The Loft.” The location and winter snow mix made this the perfect place to get away for the weekend. The amenities and cleanliness were exceptional. We give The Loft ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Outstanding Loft

This is probably one of the best VRBO stays we have experienced. The loft was in an outstanding location. Easily accessible to anywhere in Columbus. It was immaculately clean. The owner was very responsive and attended to all of our needs. Highly recommended for any one heading for Columbus.

One week return to Columbus

The loft was wonderful and just as pictured. So light and airy! Everything we needed was provided. Loved the peaceful, relaxing atmosphere and convenient location. It was a great base for visiting family and friends as well as perfect for quiet times and movies. Even though temperatures were subzero, we were very comfortable. Simon responded to any questions we had and was a gracious host. We hope to stay here again.

Nice Place

Place was beautiful as advertised. Not the place to stay if you are truly wanting to cook as I was. Cook top very difficult to figure out and hardly any cooking utensils not great cookwear . These are important to me. Simon was great and very quick to answer any questions I had. Did not like that a friend I was traveling with but staying at a different location was not allowed to see me. This was very inconvenient for me. The place was very comfortable and easy to access.

Outstanding!

This is my ideal vacation house. Modern, simple, elegant, quiet, and warm. Simon kept the house sparkling clean. Communications were exceptional. He made VRBO message system literally instant. Never waited more than 5 minutes to hear back from him. Check in and check out all smooth. House has everything we need. This is a fantastic week of away from home. Thanks, Simon! Definitely would rent again if I have chance in the future.

This property was perfect for where we needed to get to during the weekend. Convenient location to everything. Outdoor property stairs in front of the main door very dangerous. My husband almost fell. There needs to be a sign or a different color on the stair to indicate it's even there! For all of the fancy appliance upgrades in the house, may want to upgrade and take out the carpet throughout. We were assigned a parking spot and it was taken one afternoon. We were basically rushed to move our car. All in all a great place to stay for the weekend and you couldn't beat the price.

Amazing place for relaxation!!!The reviews are accurate. This place was a perfect place for my wife and I to spend a few days away to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The Loft has made it on our list of places to revisit in the future. Simon was very pleasant to work with when it came to what to do upon arrival and departure. We would recommend The Loft to anyone.
