Allan’s place was very clean and comfortable. The bed had high quality soft sheets and nice towels were provided. The room had been updated with plenty of electrical outlets and adequate AC/heat. The kitchen area had enough supplies to prepare a snack or coffee/tea.
The biggest draw to this accommodation (IMO) is the neighborhood. It is very walkable, with several nice restaurants within a couple blocks. Then there’s Bud Rip’s, the local bar with friendly clientele and interesting cocktails. There’s also a small used bookstore next door to Frady’s. The poboys from Frady’s are delicious or you can get breakfast treats from Bywater Bakery.
There is a neighborhood rooster that provides a morning wake-up call and a talented saxophone player that serenades you late at night. On New Year’s morning he/she played Summertime (Porgy and Bess arrangement) that was beautiful! There was also plenty of quiet time for reading or writing if you enjoy those pursuits. It was a nice stay.
