We had a great stay at Maison Riche. Paula has done a beautiful job decorating the apartment to bring out the historic details. Check in was easy and the location is perfect. This is a first floor apartment, so you will hear the sounds of the cafe beginning at 8 am. We like to be up early to explore the city so we were happy to get up and have coffee, but something to keep in mind if you are wanting to sleep late after a night out. We also enjoyed our welcome bag, and first complimentary beverage at the cafe, and we took the self-guided tour of the Garden District that Paula provided. It was fun to tell our friends who have lived in the city for years all of the new information we learned from the tour. We got to chat with locals on the porch and in the cafe, and Jayson the barista was so kind to us. I wanted to correct a previous review that said there is no stove, there is a small stove and oven available for your use in the kitchen.
