Tara and her home are both beautiful inside and out. The home is located in a wonderful and welcoming neighborhood. We felt extremely safe and enjoyed quite a few of the restaurants and watering holes within walking distance. The Carrollton neighborhood along with St Charles Ave are the definition of picturesque. If you are looking to stay close to the attractions but out of the hustle and bustle this is the place to be. It took us on average around 20 minutes on a streetcar to reach downtown. The ride was beautiful and cheap! In my opinion there's no need to rent a car as the streetcars and uber are efficient. The apartment is accessible through a private entrance and is monitored by a security system. The back yard is as beautiful as it appears and was a pleasure to experience. After walking around town the hot tub was a welcome sight. Tara was kind enough to show us how to use the tub and it was a breeze from there. No need to bring towels as they are provided. Aside from the home being gorgeous there were so many small touches that really made this space stand out from other places I've stayed. There was a welcome basket that greeted us along with coffee, creamer and cold cokes. The bathroom was beautiful and we were provided with toiletries. Also there is a full size hair dryer. To some this may seem fickle but for the ladies that know the struggle of using a miniature low quality one in the average hotel room a full size dryer is a godsend. If you're looking for luxury accommodations accompanied by true southern hospitality then this is the place to be!
