We enjoyed our stay! Check in was a breeze, there was an abundance of information on the area including brochures with activities and restaurant suggestions. Super close to the walk on ferry. The apartment is cozy and clean. We were quite comfortable (though it's quite humid in NO and it is an older home, so sometimes the air felt a bit thick/humid. However, that is to be expected in an older home in that area. We loved the charm of the space and you don't have to worry about not having hot water! There were 4 of us and even taking showers one right after another there were no issues. We didn't get to meet Russell or Penelope, but they were checking in by sending messages to ensure we didn't need anything. Very informative and gracious hosts!!!
