Don't miss the chance to stay here! This is a beautifully renovated historic building, and feels luxurious due to the upscale furnishings and linens.

The location is great - easy walking distance to a number of great restaurants and shops on Magazine Street, including the famous Shaya. We walked to the St. Charles streetcar stop in under 10 minutes and used the RTA app (GoMobile) to pay for day passes online. The app tells you when the next streetcar will arrive - loved it! The streetcar ride to the French Quarter took us about 40 minutes and is so scenic. We don't rent cars in New Orleans anymore - we take Uber or Lyft everywhere for less than the car rental fees and no parking hassles. However, if you do rent a car, you will find street parking within a block of this place.

The kitchen is great - big sink, range, two coffee makers (Keurig for K-cups & Hamilton Beach for ground coffee), microwave, dishwasher, and a Brita water filter in the frig. There is so much good food to be had in NOLA that we hardly used the kitchen except for coffee.

The queen foam mattress was firm and very comfortable. Bring your sleeper mask to cover your eyes, as it gets bright in the morning, and consider sleeping with earplugs due to a neighbor's dog who barks occasionally. Not a big deal for us.

We had smooth check-in and quick responses from Madeleine when we had questions. Don't hesitate to book Madeleine's place - we loved it!
