Minnette's place was exactly as described. I checked "upscale," which can be interpreted many ways. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated, and all cookware and linens were new and nicely appointed. I stayed there with my two grown sons and their significant others. We all had our own bedrooms and shared the living and kitchen areas, which were spacious and comfortable. The breakfast bar/counter was a favorite hangout while we ate, drank, and snacked.
The location was within two blocks of nightlife and just a bit of a further walk to groceries, coffee houses, restaurants, and shops; however, it was quiet where the house is. We took advantage of the location to walk at night to have a drink and to walk in the morning for pastries and coffee. We recommend the New York Pizza place on Magazine ... we had it delivered twice and loved it!
It was great to have a washer/dryer right in the house. We used the kitchen for breakfasts and late-night snacking. The porch was wonderful!!
The street car is just a few blocks away ... easy walking distance. And access to the Quarter was just a few minutes by streetcar or our own vehicle.
Minnette's place is a win-win. Book it!
