this is a beautiful and comfortable little spot! the porch is a huge bonus - so nice to sit out in the morning sun or evening twilight! i liked the area - it isn’t right near ‘hot and hip’ businesses, but rather is in a neighborhood of locals, one that to me was a mix of raw, real, and beautiful. i was able to walk to and from the Jackson Square area, and felt safe enough doing that along Esplanade on the way home at night.
