The apartment itself was fairly spacious. The bedrooms are charming as shown in the photographs, though one of the bedroom dressers has seen its better days. Being there for a longer stay we did utilize the kitchen equipment which was perfectly adequate. Eating sidesaddle at the butcher block island was a bit uncomfortable and we wondered why there was not even a small kitchen table when there was plenty of room for one. The bathroom is small and quite basic, but other than having to hold the toilet handle down for a long time and a few floor tiles which ocassionally came up under foot it did suffice. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. It was quite warm during our stay and the AC was excellent.

One daily annoyance was a Rotweiler that was let out a few doors down every morning around 6-6:30 that barked at everything that moved for anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Obviously this was nothing that Eric could control.

The neighborhood is what you would call "up and coming" with a great coffee house (French Truck) and some great restaurants within a few blocks. We particularly liked the High Hat for dinners and Bear Cat (if not the French Truck) for breakfast. The street car is a couple blocks away and there are some stunning properties just a few blocks toward St Charles Ave.

I have to note that we stayed at the property for close to two weeks so we may have noticed a few problems that would not trouble a weekend visitor. We will probably try another location for our next visit but all in all it was not a bad property for the price.
