Where to begin? Jenelle and Matt's lovely apartment is quintessential New Orleans. Perfectly located on a quiet street in the Marigny, the apartment is clean, spacious, and comfortable -- we slept so well. The apartment is a block from a great breakfast/lunch joint, Cake Cafe, near several neighborhood bars, and just blocks from Frenchmen Street.
But, even more, we felt transported to a different time and a slower pace. The balcony is perfect for morning coffee, light beams through the tall windows, and a record player with a wonderful collection of jazz records is perfect to end the evening. Simply put, Jenelle and Matt's place is a true gem.
To top off the charming apartment, Jenelle and Matt were great hosts. I was celebrating my 40th birthday, and Jenelle greeted me with birthday cupcakes from Cake Cafe. They also provided local music highlights each day -- given the wealth of music offerings in New Orleans, it's so nice to have help deciding what should top this list.
We are grateful to have found this unique spot for our future visits. I can't imagine staying anywhere else. Thanks Jenelle and Matt!
