What an amazing apartment. It met and exceeded our expectations. Steve and Michael were gracious hosts and David helped us navigate the check in and check out with ease and was around for some wonderful chatting. I would also be remiss if I didn't mention Magnolia the dog and Cletus the cat. They were very nice and seemed to feel comfortable hanging out with us. The interior met all expectations and there are some nice touches throughout. I would also encourage you to read the helpful book that Steve and Michael have put together. Michael's description of the history of the property and the renovations they have done was very informative. This is a house with deep New Orleans roots and is a big part of the city's history. If there would be any drawback it would be the noise with the mini mart next door but as big city folk it did not bother us at all. It was in many ways comforting.
