We were in NOLA for a week in October to attend a 3-day formal wedding. Unfortunately, due to a sudden illness in the family 2 weeks before we arrived, we had to shorten our stay by 2 days but Marty rapidly refunded part of our cost without us even asking. My mother and father arrived first, and my husband and I were supposed to fly in 2 days later, but Hurricane Nate hit, so we had to cancel our trip completely. Again, Marty refunded part of our costs.
My parents were alone in New Orleans for 5 days, and they found Marty readily available, extremely helpful, and very generous. He made a special effort to make us feel comfortable as Nate approached. I’d like to thank Marty for looking out for my parents when I couldn’t make it down to NOLA. He really went above and beyond!
The apartment was PERFECT for my parents’ needs. Although walking up 5 floors was a bit rough two people 65+, it was mostly so when carrying their luggage (and we were warned about the flights in advance). Upon my parents’ arrival, Marty immediately met them, helped with their luggage, and showed them around the penthouse. The apartment is just as described—but with much more beauty and character! The penthouse is spacious and the kitchen is fully functional and stocked with coffee, other beverages and snacks. They said the bed was very comfortable, the large screen TVs and WiFi worked perfectly. My 6’3” father had no problems with the sloped ceilings. 5 floors above the sometimes-rowdy Royal street, the penthouse was also remarkably quiet, even in the evening—and even during the hurricane! Other wedding attendees lodged themselves in expensive hotel rooms on or near Royal Street and were envious of my parents’ accommodations as they saw them entering the door to a very classic, elegant, and beautiful old building on Royal Street!
If you are planning to visit New Orleans and want to spend some time in the French Quarter, this is the perfect place to stay.
