The Metro Loft Getaway
Florence-Graham, United States
Overview
The Metro Loft Getaway is a 450 sq. ft. apartment-style stay in Florence-Graham (postal code 90011), described as a ground-floor unit with a mezzanine inside a fully fenced apartment building with a gated entry. The layout features low ceilings (about 7 ft on the first floor and 6 ft on the mezzanine), which is important to consider if you’re tall or prefer more vertical space. The property is smoke-free and enforces a strict no-parties policy.
Layout & In-Unit Features
Sleeping and lounging areas are located on the mezzanine, including a queen bed, closet, sofa, board games, and a wall-mounted widescreen TV. Climate control is handled by split A/C units serving both the ground floor and mezzanine. The bathroom includes a rain showerhead plus handheld shower, toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash), hairdryer, towels, and other basics.
Kitchen & Laundry
A fully equipped kitchen supports longer stays, with a stove, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker with supplies, and a full set of cookware/utensils and dining ware. There’s also a 4-person dining table, plus mugs/cups and wine glasses. Laundry is available via a shared, coin-operated laundry room for the building (detergent not provided).
Parking, Check-in & Security
Parking is via street parking, with street-sweeping schedule restrictions to watch for. Self check-in starts at 4:00 PM via smart lock (code provided 30 minutes before check-in), and check-out is at 11:00 AM with no late check-out offered due to cleaning protocols. For security, exterior cameras cover areas such as the driveway and front door.
Location & Getting Around
The apartment is near multiple bus stops including Gage / Santa Fe (about 256 m), Gage / Albany (about 309 m), and Gage Ave & Malabar St (Eastbound) (about 383 m), offering transit access around the area. Dining options nearby include The Corner Grill Express (about 479 m) and NORMS Restaurant (about 637 m).

Best for
This apartment is best for independent travelers or couples who want a kitchen-equipped base with easy access to local transit, including several bus stops within a short walk. It also suits guests planning a longer stay thanks to the full kitchen and on-site shared laundry. Taller travelers or anyone sensitive to compact, low-ceiling spaces should factor in the 7 ft/6 ft ceiling heights across the two levels.

Plan for street parking and check posted street-sweeping restrictions to avoid tickets or towing. If you’re arriving by transit, the Gage / Santa Fe and Gage / Albany bus stops are both within a few minutes’ walk. Note the 4:00 PM smart-lock check-in (code sent shortly before arrival) and the firm 11:00 AM check-out policy.
