Adrienne and Bill were there to welcome us when we arrived. The dogs were intimidating looking but were in fact well-behaved and friendly. The best part about the house is its location: close to the St Charles street car line, but tucked far back enough to allow for enjoyment of the peace and quiet of the residential neighborhood. Plenty of street parking --- and safe! We accidentally left the a car window down all night and nothing happened! The house is a beautiful period piece, and decorated with charm and humor. Our bedroom is the haunted room on the third floor and it was as advertised on the website. The bathroom was small and the shower tiny but plenty of hot water. Adrienne was a great host --- available and always cordial but gave us plenty of privacy.
