Well I just want to say Shannon and I had a fantastic time. We really couldn't have asked for more. I'll get to the details in a second but our stay at Irish Channel corner Grocery Store (Penny's) was exactly what we had hoped and it delivered on all fronts.
We stayed there for St. Patrick's Day weekend and my birthday. We loved our "local" experience.
Penny was a super host. The place was clean and cute. Penny was thoughtful enough to provide us with snacks and beverages so we could get through from one event to another without having to waste our time at the supermarket; although that wasn't really far either.
The Hospital isn't that far either. ;-) (All okay, thanks for checking on us.)
There was ample space for our bags and clothes. She even invited us in for food and drinks with her and was very friendly. Getting everywhere was also easy. We walked a little ways through the Garden District to the streetcar each day. What a beautiful and easy stroll that is let me tell you.
We will absolutely try to come back and stay with Penny again next time we head to New Orleans. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
