Matt and Lital's place was just as described and I enjoyed the week stay for business where I went to the Convention Center each day. My late check-in was a cinch via key code, and the house and Garden District were a great place to stay. The house itself is a "shotgun" style (although Matt, being an architect, would know more about that!) where the apartment was completely redone. The neighborhood was quite and the apartment (attached as part of the house) was private.
Got some dining suggestions from Lital my first full day there; I ate at Joey K's twice! Magazine St., just two or three blocks away, is loaded with places to eat, drink, and shop. I've been to New Orleans many times, but this is my first time staying for this business exhibition in the Garden District. Would stay here again if available and hopefully be able to visit with Matt and Lital more next time; missed seeing Dante roaming the backyard, but maybe next time also! ;-)
