Clean and met our needs
This loft was clean and spacious. There was a mildew scent, so if sensitive to that be cautious (reason for 4 stars). Our kids had plenty of space to hang out and loved the bunkbeds (although the bunkbeds in the living room area made it challenging to do anything while kids were asleep).

Nice but hard to sleep
Beautiful historic loft. Old school feel. Just a few downfalls. 1. Too warm in bedroom to sleep. Also the battery to the remote did not work in bedroom to leave the fan on and not the light. So slept on the couch where it was cooler. Also, the street outside is so loud. Lots of noisy radios with bass and people reving their engines. And lots of sirens throughout the night. The bathroom also needs updated. Shower knob was broke and door to shower was hard to close and baseboards were dirty.

Never Again
Wasn’t at all what I expected. Upon arriving I couldn’t believe this was the place I had booked . The smell of mold was unbelievable. Historical district what a joke. Old buildings that folks are trying to restore. Nothing to do in this area other than very close to port. Hurricane comes in at 1:00 am water starts pouring from the ceiling and coming through the gaps of windows. We spent hours mopping up water used every pot, pan, and bucket available. Sent message to host response took hours. Massive amount of dirt under rug , a/c filter was completely black with dust hadn’t been changed in a long time. To top it off electricity went out mid morning making the smell of mold even worse with daytime heating. I also communicated with the host that leaky ceiling was a problem already there prior to arrival and hurricane and that this unit should have been completely repaired before allowing folks to stay in it. I’m sorry paint & kiltz only cover up so much. I was never offered to be moved to another unit or anything else. Like I said never again and I strongly advise anyone to stay away from this place. Paid for a place I couldn’t stay in and never offered not one penny back for my inconvenience. I was on vacation and I shouldn’t have to deal with this kind of thing.

Unclean & Unresponsive
So badly wanted to like this property but struggling to even give it 3 stars. The Good: Spacious, great location to the Strand The Bad: Dirty (especially bathroom and windows), worn, pics make property look newer than it is (kitchen cabinets for example), zero insulation to outdoor noise, too much light filtering in at night due to old, worn blinds. The WORST part is that we were unable to shower because there was no hot water. While mgt responded fairly quickly, there was no resolution. They even asked us to check the hot water heater (which was located 12 feet overhead in a cabinet that no would could reach without a ladder). Made request for partial refund and still no response after 10 days. Many improvements needed to make this great potential stayable for our family.

Comfy, spacious, close to the port!
Our time in Galveston was cut short due to a missed flight and having to fly to a different airport, but our night spent at this unit was a welcomed relief to the chaos of the day! When my family (2 adults, 3 teens) arrived, we had all the info we needed to make our way straight up to the unit. The communication with the host was fantastic, very kind. We had a tiny issue on the street, trying to figure out which outside door was the right one. It was late and the address numbers were hard to see in the shadows of the door frame. But once we got that figured out, it was a smooth check-in. We were pleased to enter and find a clean, spacious unit that matched the photos in the listing. The open floor space was especially nice for being able to open up our suitcases and get organized for the next day. The beds were very comfortable. We all slept great. My husband, being 6’5”, was glad to have a king size bed. The street can be loud at times. It’s an old building. You can hear motorcycles revving, trucks taking off from the corner, etc. It didn’t keep us up at night, but just be aware of this. The a/c unit kept it cool. The couch is big & comfy. My teens had plenty of room to lounge. Suggestion- a throw blanket would be a nice addition to the couch. The next day we were able to walk to the cruise port, which I hadn’t anticipated, so it saved us an Uber. A nice surprise! I’d recommend this place to anyone visiting Galveston. Thank you for an stress-free, comfortable stay!

Royal Caribbean Spring Break
Very spacious and clean. The bed in master was comfortable and the children slept well in the full sized bunk beds. It would be very nice to have had two bath rooms with shower and vanity. The stairs are a challenge to negotiate with heavy luggage (or no luggage at all). Two of the boards are cracked and seemed to be on the verge of breaking. We have stayed with you on two occasions now and knew what to expect. Very convenient to the Royal Caribbean port.
