It's been said before, and it is true: Kevin is an outstanding host. He provided us with a list of recommendations and was beyond accommodating when it came to an early check-in and a late check-out as well (since there were no other guests checking in that day.) The apartment is bigger than expected and although walls are quite thin, it was still private, safe and silent throughout the night. Kevin's photography and art were charming and added to the overall aesthetic of the place, which we enjoyed. Heating worked perfectly, there were plenty of toiletries, a selection of herbal teas and Kevin left oranges from his family's citrus tree for us.
I read on here that bed was hard and uncomfortable, but we thought the contrary. The firm mattress was perfect to rest after long days of walking around. There was nothing we needed and went without.
The apartment is within walking distance to some cozy bars and interesting art. It is also near the entrance to Crescent Park by the Mississippi River which leads to the French Quarter. We felt like locals and that added on to the wonderful experience we had.
