I didn’t get to meet Eliot but Brooke was a lovely host. The space was very clean and quiet. It was tucked in a lovely neighborhood close to the fair grounds and city park. Brooke was very welcoming and full of stories, great information and tips about the surrounding area. The apartment was open and airy with good sized kitchen, dining area, small living area and a very comfortable bed. Also, the bathroom was beautifully done. Small touches throughout the space made it move quickly to the top of my list: complementary bathroom products, really good coffee and a great back porch with a swing, a hammock in the back yard and an outdoor cat named “Mama Cat” the visited with us often. We stayed at 4 different locations during our visit to New Orleans, this was by far my favorite. This is not only for the reasons listed above but also for the overall “feel” that I got from the place, it truly felt like a home away from home.
