The apartment was absolutely beautiful, and was exactly as shown in photos! The spaces were huge, and the balconies lovely! The small “nook” and kitchenette and dining table were open to the rest of the house (kind of like a loft), but it was never an issue because both of our rooms were able to be kept locked. The place was absolutely sparkling clean! There were things in our kitchenette that we could use if we needed, and there was just about anything you would ever need downstairs in the master kitchen. Because it is an old house we were able to hear the people in the other rooms when we were out on the loft area, but once we went into either of the bedrooms and closed the doors we could not hear them at all. The house is located right on St. Charles, so you do hear the trolley running past, but we got used to it really fast. When we first heard it we were worried it would bother us during the night, but it ran a lot less at night, and it didn’t bother us at all. We slept very good! All of the beds were very comfortable too! My daughter had an amazing time on her birthday trip! Thanks so much for an awesome stay in your beautiful home!
