Our experience was wonderful. Phoebe actually gave us a great place to catch a po boy on the way in, and then she picked us up. Next she went extremely out of her way to make us fresh watermelon and ginger juices with mint. Although the loft is attached to the house it is very quiet. My dad and I were there for jazz fest. We had a few block walk to the streetcar, and finding a cab was fairly easy. This is a perfect place if you want something quiet, like your own home, with a nice back yard and place to cook. We cooked breakfast every morning and had cocktails every evening.
