Visited New Orleans for the 1st time on my birthday week, and could not have picked a better place to stay!! Messaged with Penelope before our stay and although I never got to meet her in person, I did get to meet her lovely daughter Candice who greeted me the first day.
This one-time family home is beautiful, and the suite was perfect. Incredibly tall ceilings, comfortable bed, gorgeous bathroom and tub. Little side room with table, chairs, coffee maker and microwave/mini-refrigerator. My friend and I brought back fried chicken from the corner gas station (Key’s Fuel Mart—no joke, it was so good) and took advantage of their downstairs kitchen and living room to eat and then relax.
The neighborhood is in Treme and quiet, but only 2 blocks from the French Quarter. My only request would be to place some sort of a plush chair to sit on in the sitting area of the suite. If you drink tea, bring some with you. I highly, highly recommend Penelope’s place. If I ever come back to NOLA, I will definitely stay here!
