Paula's apartment was off the chart on the cuteness & coziness scales. From the moment you walk thru the gate & the front door, you know you are in for a good time, with creative & quirky decorating touches & Mardi Gras momentos on display in the front entrance. The apartment itself is full of personality (like Paula). Perfect location, in front of the streetcar stops. Very comfortable (especially the bed). Fridge well stocked with water, OJ, yogurt, beer & wine - as well as some basics like butter & creamer. And, of course, coffee (which is necessary for life in my case). There is a Fresh Market nearby on St. Charles & Breaux Mart on Magazine. Lots of character to this place, the Arts & Crafts style carved wood accents over the breakfast bar area are GORGEOUS! The water in the clawfoot tub takes a while to warm up, but once it does, it stays warm for nice, hot showers! Bookcase is full of interesting reading material, for when you don't feel like watching TV as you rest up from your NOLA adventures. Paula was super-nice! She was OK with me checking in a little early & when I was bumped to a later flight home, she let me relax in the apartment until time to leave (which greatly reduced my stress levels). She (& Katie) are awesome hosts. Will DEFINITELY be staying here again during my many trips to NOLA!
