It has been stated numerous times, and Jim set the bar high again. Our family was in town for a family wedding, and the apartment felt like our home away from home. Our party consisted of 5 people ranging in ages from 8 to 65 years old, and everyone had a blast. The apartment is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The closets are well stocked with extra linen, pillows, clean towels, and iron/ ironing board with starch. There is a washing machine/dryer combo with detergent and a nicely furnished kitchen. The downstairs oasis is a wonderful place to drink coffee in the mornings or unwind in the evenings. We spent as much time at the apartment as we did exploring the city. Jim has an upbeat personality, and is an excellent host. Star and Stella are the icing on the cake. They are so well behaved and have the sweetest personalities. Absolutely zero complaints, except we only wished we could have stayed longer. My 8 year old didn't want to leave. We are looking forward to staying with Jim again when we return to New Orleans. We arrived as tenants and left with a new friend.
