Translation of loft in German

When we left the stadium after the game there were plenty of people on the streets. The neighbors opened their windows to sell grilled meat and the entire street smelled of meat and smoke.
The cafe was not cheap but the food was quite special. In the back there was a travel agency, again not the cheapest one but they made a very reliable impression and that is why we booked with them.
The counter opened 45 minutes before take-off, and we really had to beg the ground personal to check for another seat. They were friendly, but nonetheless we felt that they would do us a favor.
