The West End Loft – 5* Retreat – Private Parking! Overview
When I first stumbled upon The West End Loft – 5* Retreat – Private Parking!, I’ll be honest – the name had me a bit confused about what to expect. The “5* Retreat” part of the title is definitely aspirational marketing speak, because this is actually a solid 3-star property, but you know what? Sometimes that works in your favor. I went in with measured expectations and came away genuinely impressed with what they’ve put together here.
The loft setup is where this place really shines – and I mean that literally, because the windows are massive and let in this gorgeous natural light that makes the whole space feel twice as big as it actually is. The owners have clearly put thought into the layout, with these interesting exposed beam details that give it character without feeling like they’re trying too hard to be trendy. What really sold me though was walking in and immediately noticing how quiet it was, which honestly surprised me given that we’re talking about a loft-style accommodation. The soundproofing is better than you’d expect, and I actually slept through the night without any street noise disrupting things.
Here’s the thing that’ll make or break your stay – that private parking they mention in the name? It’s not just marketing fluff, it’s genuinely useful. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stayed somewhere urban and spent the first hour driving in circles looking for a spot, but here you just pull right in. The parking area is well-lit too, which matters if you’re arriving after dark. The whole check-in process was refreshingly straightforward – none of that awkward fumbling around with lockboxes or complicated key pickup instructions. The space itself has this lived-in comfort that vacation rentals sometimes lack, like someone actually thought about whether you’d have enough outlets near the bed or where you’d put your suitcase. Small details, but they add up. The kitchen setup is more functional than fancy, which I prefer – good knife, decent cookware, not just the bare minimum. That 9.1 rating it’s got? I’d say that’s pretty spot-on. It’s not going to blow your mind with luxury touches, but it delivers on the fundamentals in a way that makes you want to extend your stay an extra night.

The location could not be any better. The flat is beautifully decorated and head everything you need. The bathroom is outstanding and the bath is worth the trip on its own.
