We just had a great stay at this beautiful cottage. We were four adults and one toddler. The place is so perfectly located, particularly for families. You are close enough to be able to take the stroller down to the FQ , but far enough to not be bothered by the craziness at night. The cottage itself is pretty spacious (bigger than it looks from the outside). The bedrooms are all located along a long hallway that leads back to a living room area and kitchen. Everything was super clean and nice. Check in/out was very easy, and Penelope was very responsive!
The area felt reasonably safe to me. You just need to take all the normal precautions you would in any major city. We walked everywhere during the day, but generally took Ubers at night. We were fortunate to have the Tremé fall festival going on during our stay (over Columbus Day weekend). The awesome street fair with vendors, food trucks and live music was just a few steps away from the cottage! We all had a blast. Especially the toddler. Thanks so much for everything, Penelope! We’ll be back!
