The space
This very unique and unusually architected, 38-unit condominium complex was constructed in 2008, but is in one of the oldest areas of Lexington. Several houses in the neighborhood date back to 1806, and at least one to 1789..

Guest access
Guests can come and go anytime, since there is a push button lock on the entrance door. The code will be texted to you before you arrive on the day of your arrival. (The code is changed regularly.) Since this is a full-time AirBnB unit, guests will have access to all of the unit - unless a cabinet is locked for some reason.
Guests staying at this unit, are 1+ blocks from the Jefferson Street restaurant area, with six unique, local restaurants located in the block of Jefferson between Short and Second, a block from this Little Loft. Plus many more within a 10-15 minute walk. Also, Lexington Center - with its Heritage Hall and Rupp Arena - is located within that short walk. The Mary Todd Lincoln house-museum is in the same area. Close by are art galleries, and antique shops. The Little Loft is 15 minutes (6 miles) from the Keeneland Racetrack, 16 minutes (8 miles) to the Kentucky Horse Park, and 1.5 miles to the University of Kentucky.
Other things to note
As can be seen from the picture of the outside of the complex, each unit has its own outside entrance. Using the elevator (located in the far corner of the complex) as a reference point, unit 106 is located in the part of the complex that is to the left of the elevator as you are facing it. Parking is on the ground-level (level P). The next level (level 1) is your level. Exit the elevator, turn to the right, and your unit is about 3 units away.
The front patio for 106 is the largest one. (The concrete in front curves way out at its maximum in front of the unit.) Parking is anywhere you can find a space - under the covered parking, or out in the marked parking areas in the driveway.
There is a hair dryer in the bathroom, and drip coffee in the kitchen, English muffins, cream and sweeteners in the cupboard. The futon in the bedroom folds out into a not-all-that-great bed. But if someone is really tired or doesn't weigh a lot, then ...
