The space is a gem: a beautiful cross between an island cottage and an earthy artist loft. We enjoyed chatting with Francoise, the petite hostess, who was laissez-faire or helpful as needed, tho sadly having to deal with the Paris terror attacks at the time. Her smart pooch Zoe was a playful delight who could simmer down on command. We arrived in NOLA during a cold snap: due to the high ceiling architecture, the bedroom heating was going mostly upstairs, but I slept like a log. T found the mattress a bit hard, and the neighbors in the front half of the building were definitely audible, like in an apartment. Delicious coffee was available in the morn. The Magazine street neighborhood is awesome, culturally hip and not as frantic as the FQ. Just be sure to steer around them street potholes, and you are golden! We would love to go back when it's warmer :-)
