Stayed at Les and Dionne's during Essence Fest. It was nice to stay somewhere that was a little bit away from the action but still close enough to move around fairly easily. The space is cozy, and perfect for a trip where you know you'll be out and about most of the time (we spent most of the day and night out at various Essence Fest related events). Really enjoyed being close to the street car. It was perfect for getting to the Convention Center during the day.
Really appreciated having such a friendly host!
