I reserved Uptown Jewel (UJ) a year ahead, because my family and I were going to be in New Orleans for Tulane graduation, and everything was selling out early. I communicated with Christopher periodically over the next year. He always got right back to me. UJ was a haven for us during our stay. At one point post-graduation weekend, my hard-partying Tulane grad fell into one of the beds at UJ and slept in the cool, dark, air-conditioned luxury for 19 hours straight. New Orleans is really fun, but temps and rain conditions change quickly. It was great to have this dependable, centrally located site to come back to for rest and regrouping. I'd rent it again. You bet.
