Well, this is a great loft / upper level apartment. It has the older feel you like in a historic area. The floors are uneven giving it that charm you want & the view from the kitchen window is unsurpassed. There’s nothing we didn’t like about the place, it was simply lovely. It was extremely clean & that’s always a plus. So you’ll know this is a real review, I’ll dig deep for one disappointment, when we woke up the coffee jar was empty, oh no, no coffee!! Crisis averted as the location is slap in the middle of old Swansboro, coffee was available on either side of us & our first world problem was averted. We’d definitely stay here again, charming with a large comfy king size bed & the bathroom was perfect for a short stay. We parked & never needed to drive until we left two days later, don’t hesitate to book your stay.
