Penny's apartment was beautiful, warm, and inviting. We considered booking an apartment in the French Quarter, but in the end we were so glad to have stayed elsewhere; the French Quarter is loud, dirty, and overcrowded. Penny's place is located on a charming street in the Garden District, a beautiful neighborhood with a lot of character and with easy access to all the big sights. The apartment is just 3 blocks away from all the restaurants, bars, and boutiques on Magazine Street and a quick 5 minute walk to the St. Charles street car. It couldn't be easier!
Penny was incredibly helpful and welcoming. She let us borrow her bike and even drove us when we were in a rush to rent an extra! She recommended places for us visit and was always there for us whenever we needed any guidance. Although always available and at hand, Penny was not at all invasive; we felt as though we were staying in our own separate apartment for most of our stay as there was a private entrance and as the space is separated from the rest of the property. The apartment was clean, beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. We truly loved our stay there and we highly recommend Penny and her corner grocery store!
