Phoebe is an amazing host! We cannot imagine a better place to have stayed.
Our family traveled to Phoebe's place just after Christmas through New Year's Eve and had a wonderful time. There was lots of space to stretch out for our family of 4.
The kids (teens) had choices of places to sleep from all the various beds, cots, sofas around the loft which they claimed immediately. And the separate bedroom had a very comfortable bed and plenty of space to move around freely!
Light and airy (ceiling fans in each of the areas), all of the amenities promised was in evidence. Microwave, kettle, fridge, stove, utensils, pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, all linens, and shampoo/conditioner, hand soap etc. provided as well. And a television for those nights you just want to tuck in!
Check the cupboards before grocery shopping, you will find extra touches that will save you from having to purchase items for yourself.
Unfortunately, we were unable to make use of the incredible backyard, our time just evaporated. Next time for sure!!!
We did hear trains briefly at night but all good as we felt right at home. Phoebe provides ear plugs if needed, which none of us did.
Plenty of space to store your items and tuck away your luggage (minimizing the reminder that you will eventually have to leave)
Phoebe was available any time to see to any requests we had very promptly.
You will be well taken care of if you stay here!
Having 'ALEXA' available was a nice extra touch, and so was the USB charging station!
WHAT TO DO?
Well ..... There is the St. Charles Streetcar a few blocks from the house and
Make sure you visit Tartine's for the best sandwiches---their grilled cheese, steak sandwich, and ham and brie sandwich as well as their salad was soooo good!
Phoebe can also recommend the best place for Beignets in the neighborhood and plenty more!
We were also very close to the Audubon Zoo by staying at Phoebe's which we visited....amazing day!
It is also minutes away to Magazine St. where there were a lot of shops, not necessarily the touristy kind, unique.
Great pizza at Pizza Domenica!
Wonderful vinyl record place at Peaches Records and Mardi Gras Costumes stores as well. ... And the grand mansions on St. Charles and into the Garden District!! As well as the University campuses....beautiful architecture!
So much to do and see, all accessible from Phoebe's. Not only were we able to scratch everything off of our list, we were able to add plenty to it. We could go on and on.
Can you tell we had a great time??
