We stayed over Christmas and New Years and had the most wonderful time at Mia's place! She had it decorated, the kitchen was stocked, had mixers and some bottles of alcohol, and made sure we felt right at home.
I highly recommend this apartment. It's very unique and since it was a store it has a very funky, cool, lofty feel to it with some historical connections. The location was a little off the beaten path but not too far away from Magazine St so we really enjoyed our privacy without being too far from anything. We took advantage of the bus most days and rented a car for two days to see the further away plantations. There was plenty of open parking out front and we were very close to bus lines to take us right into town and elsewhere. There is a Walmart within walking distance and another grocery stores a little further away.
Mia was really a great host and not only put us up in another nice location for two nights (and moved us HERSELF) when there was an electrical issue that needed to be tended to but she also gave us a really nice dinner at a cozy upscale restaurant, which we was our New Years Eve celebration. She had plenty of suggestions and gave us some great local tips. She also let us use bikes that got us around to Magazine St easily. I would recommend any of Mia's listing and completely see why she's a superhost!
