WE LOVED STAYING IN THIS SHOTGUN-STYLE APARTMENT IN MIDCITY. WE HADN'T CHECKED IN YET, BUT HAD TOLD OUR SON ABOUT THIS KIND OF HOUSE -- HE WAS SO EXCITED TO STAY IN A PLACE WHERE "THE HOUSE IS THE HALLWAY"! IT WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF NEW ORLEANS HOUSING, RIGHT DOWN TO THE CHARMING BACKYARD AREA WITH A CHIMINEA AND HANGING STRING OF LIGHTS. WE WISH WE'D HAD MORE TIME TO USE THIS APARTMENT AS A HOME BASE FOR EXPLORING THE CITY WITH OUR YOUNG CHILDREN, AND TO USE THE BICYCLES AND TRAILER PROVIDED TO DO SO. LARSON AND NATHALIE WERE VERY WELCOMING TO US AS A FAMILY, THOUGHTFULLY PROVIDING TOYS, A HIGHCHAIR, AND FINDING US A PACK N PLAY FOR OUR INFANT. WE LOVED SNUGGLING UP NEXT TO THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS TO WATCH A MOVIE ONCE THE KIDS WERE IN BED, DRINKING LOCAL BREWS FROM THE CRAFT BEER STORE IN WALKING DISTANCE. TIP: GET TAKE OUT FROM KATIE'S AND AVOID THE WAITLIST TO DINE THERE. THE SEAFOOD PIZZA IS AMAZING!
