Melanie and Tom were great hosts. They clearly love the city and the flat reflects their care and love in every inch. The location is fantastic and furnishings are all unique and tasteful. It is hard to believe that they have done so much in two years. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is simply superb. Melanie and Tom have gone out of their way to create something very special in a really cool neighborhood in the garden district. We were wowed as soon as we walked in. The beds were the most comfortable ones I have ever slept in! The neighborhood offers something for everyone from dining, shopping or a beautiful walk through the Garden district with all of its amazing homes. The only problem is the flat is so nice, one does not want to leave. I was a little nervous being on a busy street but never heard a peep even on a busy Saturday night. Would recommend highly to anyone considering a stay in New Orleans looking to avoid the hotel scene and getting a taste of the real city.
