Monica is a wonderful and attentive host. We arrived to New Orleans amid terrible torrential rain and it delayed our original arrival time. Despite us being late, Monica was accommodating and met us in the rain to give us the keys. The apartment is well appointed and was spotless when we arrived. She had run the A/C to cool down the apartment for us, a very considerate gesture.
The kitchen is fully functional and is equipped with everything you need to cook meals in the apartment. Although it's cozy, everything is arranged in a way to maximize space. There is excellent natural light that shines into the apartment which brightens up the apartment.
The location of this apartment cannot be beat--it's a 5 minute walk to the splendor and beauty of the live oaks at City Park, close to the street car line, and Bayou St. John. Everything you need is within walking distance including coffee shops, grocery stores, the post office, restaurants, and bar. Mid-City is a perfect location to stay if you're visiting New Orleans for the first time because it's centrally located to both the French Quarter and Uptown. The Lavender House is clean, comfortable, and under great care!
