We had a nice stay at Owen's and communication before departure was quick and courteous, he also let us add on another day/change details of our stay (thought AirBnB charged us for this) and was helpful pointing out the coffee and food places nearby. We were also early dropping off our bags the day we arrived and Owen was relaxed about this, too. The apartment itself is nicely decorated and fun - loved the tiled floors and jazzy kitchen wallpaper as well as the cabinet of old medicinal curiosities in one of the bathrooms. The main thing for me was that with the cold weather (and we were there end of January/beginning of Feb), the apartment doesn't seem to have central heating but old-fashioned gas bar heaters mounted to the walls. I think one of the window air conditioners blew hot air, but not both. So when we first came into the apartment it was like an ice box and really slow to warm up after coming home from a night out. As we'd only taken carry on cases, we had no room for thick socks or slippers, so the tiled floors (though beautiful) felt freezing to walk on. There are a few coffee makers there which is fab, and a Krups coffee maker with some coffee pods, but no creamer or milk left in the fridge, it's a bit of a treck to get to the nearest grocery store, too - though there are a bunch of coffee places nearby. We had a really lovely breakfast at Surrey's Cafe and Juice Bar on the first morning, we did laundry halfway through the stay at the nearby laundry mart and also were able to walk over to the Tram at St Charles every morning. I would NOT recommend going to 'Please U' breakfast place which was a greasy nightmare for me and an experience I never wish to repeat, but we enjoyed Tacos and beer around the corner from the apartment and never had to wait more than 3 mins for an Uber to arrive to take us to where we wanted to go. I'd also recommend Dat Dog on Magazine St (short Uber away) and Cherry Roasters for a nice coffee. The neighbourhood was nice and covered in beads and decorations for Mardi Gras while we were there.
