Great communication with Phil, check-in was easy. Our room was private, clean, & quiet. We had our own private balcony & enjoyed waking up to the birds singing & relaxing evenings after our nights at the French Quarter. Our nightstands had bottled water & candy on them, we had an endless supply of towels & bedding. The house dogs were a little barky when we first got there, but warmed up to us by the time we left. The coffee bar was stocked with all kinds of coffee & mugs of all kinds. The kitchen was clean & the refrigerator had an ample supply of ice & filtered water. It was easy to find cups & eating utensils in the kitchen. The entire house smelled amazing!! Thoughtfully placed lights along the walls of the stairs insure you make it up safely. There was also an iron, blowdryer, plenty of hangers & a plug-in fan available to us. The bed was a bit hard for our preference, but it served its purpose. The bed hardly mattered when compared to the ample amenities. Clean spacious bathroom, shower & plenty of hot water. We kept telling eachother we felt like we were staying with family!! We referred it Phil's place as "home" several times when trying to decide if we were ready to leave the French Quarter!! All & all, we can't wait to come back!! Thanks, Phil!!
