THIS! Gorgeous. Sexy. Serene. I was searching for the perfect getaway home, situated away from the chaotic beauty NOLA embodies. This was it! I discovered this penthouse just a few days before my first visit to NOLA. I’m pretty sure I lucked up on it. . . and for good reason. It was destined to set the scene for a milestone birthday celebration. I knew it would be the perfect escape, and it far exceeded my expectations.
Ian was a phenomenal host! Available and helpful at any given time. He even welcomed us with a bottle of “goodness,” which is how I love to start a vacation. Tipsy! The private driveway was a plus. The location was great! There are many great restaurants and boutiques within walking distance. No need to Uber. Get them steps, in! While Hey! Café served up a great Americano, Que Rico! Cuban Cafe’s “slap yo mama” type of comfort food hit the spot. I highly recommend both. NOLA has too many good eats! Not enough bellies! We made use of the kitchen once for breakfast, and everything we needed was provided. All high end appliances and Cajun spices added to the bells. Cozy, comfortable beds were a definite win. Hard not to just lay up in bed all day....but we had to eat. ;)
This home definitely made our first trip to NOLA even more memorable. We plan to come back frequently in the future, and hopefully make this a home away from home.
Many thanks, Ian! Your hospitality is much appreciated...
