We were looking forward to staying here and it exceeded our expectations!! It is rich in history and absolutely beautiful!! 15 out of 10 recommend staying here! We will be staying here again next time!
Second year in a row staying in the Penthouse for our Krewe du Vieux annual event 2 blocks away. Perfect location to stage our food and walk to the event. It’s always clean and welcoming.
Our stay in the penthouse exceeded expectations! The place is huge! High ceilings, comfy couches and beds in a quiet neighborhood made it the ideal spot to enjoy Nola. Thoughtful touches like toiletries, coffee, filtered water, plenty of towels and games made it feel like home. When we return to the Crescent City, we will definitely stay here again!
