Annie's place was a perfect home base for both uptown & downtown visiting. I didn't get a chance to talk to Annie & John, but my partner did, and he said they were lovely and so great to chat with. The place is clean and charming. I know some other reviews mention the low ceilings and that could definitely be an issue for some, but wasn't a problem at all for us! Felt very spacious and open. I was happy to be so close to Dat Dog and other Freret staples. Overall, great place to stay in a great area.
