Love the attached garage

I choose the 418 for the pet friendly aspect and location.The stairs are a little steep but my 84 yr old mother in law managed just fine. The attached garage made us feel extra safe and comfortable.

Lovely Stay

Very cute place! The art in the loft was cool and the amount of thought that had gone into the items in the loft was incredible. We also got a great view of the fireworks set off by the city. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Gorgeous loft in historic Ft Wayne

This loft is absolutely gorgeous and modern and cozy! Super clean and spacious, everything you need for a stay in the area. We were stopping over on a longer road trip to visit family out east and would definitely stay here again! The only con was that we had to get up early and the bed was so comfy that I didn’t want to get up! I honestly loved this place. They thought of every amenity, even an elegant small Christmas tree in the corner of the living room. The whole place smelled seasonal and inviting. Some of the biggest TV’s I’ve ever seen. Lots of beautiful textiles throughout. Classy and fun artwork, lots of different styles. And having the garage right under the unit was worth more than gold—made unloading and loading the car so easy, especially with our dog and with the horrible cold rain we had the day we arrived. There’s an adorable pantry with coffee and snacks that we didn’t get to take advantage of because our stay was so quick, but this would be a lovely place to spend more time and get to know the area.

Perfect VRBO

Everything you would expect from the perfect VRBO. From the Comfy Memory Foam king upstairs to the stocked coffee Bar. To the Garage parking especially because it was raining when we arrived to get our stuff inside being covered was fantastic. When we come to visit our In-laws again this will be our first choice if available.

4 Day Weekend

We came up for a 4 day weekend for the Fort Wayne Children's Choir's 50th anniversary concert. The loft is very nice, it gives an industrial chic vibe. Being in the Wells Corridor there's a lot of stuff within walking distance.

Way better than a hotel

Very clean, questionable response time from property manager about check in information, fit the description of the ad. Lacked information of the property location of building until after booking the property. Would rent from again in the future if needed.
