I had a mini-reunion with 6 of my high school friends in New Orleans in October. We chose to splurge a bit on this Penthouse, and it was ABSOLUTELY worth it! Most of us had never been to this wonderful city, and this was the perfect location to take it all in.
The penthouse was immaculate, with incredible views - we almost didn't want to leave. But the city was calling us - right outside our door!
We had the best time!
This Penthouse was perfect for a large group (but I'm sure it would be perfect for a smaller group as well). And the owners were very helpful with advice on the city, and very gracious. Thank you!! |

| Fabulous!! i thought by the photos on VRBO it would be a great place, but i never expected it could beat my expectations, which it did pleasantly. pictures cannot do it justice. best views in the city is not an exaggeration...just staying here alone becomes a reason to go to New Orleans... |

The Penthouse blew us away. The place exceeds the
pictures posted on the web site. The views are
spectacular. When you walk into the front door of
the penthouse you are immediatly blown away by
the view thru the glass walls overlooking the
Mississippi river. What a spectacular home in a
great location. We spent 4 days here and hated to
leave. Everything is in easy walking distance. We
will definately book the penthouse again on our
next visit to New Orleans. And as a side note, the
owners provides us with a list of restaurants and
things to do that gave us an "insiders" view of the
city. |

Firstly - I am not accustomed to paying these sorts of rates to stay anywhere, but this penthouse seemed a singular opportunity to assure that our New Orleans visit would be as special as possible for the French exchange student staying with us, as well as actually be thrilling for my children, who have visited New Orleans a number of times.
Well, that plan worked perfectly, as this place far exceeded anything we could have expected.
The location and views are far better than anyone is going to manage to convey in these guestbook comments, but I will say there are none better to be had in the city! Breathtaking on initial viewing and just keep getting richer and richer as details emerge throughout your stay!
The place? The master is huge (walk-in closet / built-ins / etc.), with a
perfectly appointed bath (jetted tub / dual shower / steam / etc.)... there is a wonderful glass bedroom that is like a secondary bungalow, separate from the
main body of the apartment, with full bath, refrigerator, etc... there is a
downstairs bedroom that is a wonderfully quiet escape, again with full bath... there is a completely glass upstairs bedroom that looks out over the river and surrounding area like you were in the crow's nest of a ship! Every room is dressed out with the best of materials and finishes... a joy just to look at and a true honor to live in...
Private 6th floor balcony swimming pool, where you look down on Jackson Square while enjoying a swim... or (as we did!), watch a soccer game on the outdoor 60" plasma TV mounted for perfect viewing from the pool!
So, I went into this feeling a bit at odds with the costs, but left arranging a return stay! Because, like one of my daughters said, "we have to come back; we haven't done all we need to do here... ...I haven't slept in each of the bedrooms"... we will be returning as often as possible!
So, thanks Earl and we will see you again! |

| living within 1/2 hour of the french quarter,we stayed at this fabulous property as a "guest in our own city"; i can attest to the fact that the 360* views of the city are second to none; the jax brewery is indeed a secure bldg. we felt very safe and our privacy was guaranteed; the location is primo! restaurants,jazz clubs,bars,casinos, river cruises,buggy rides, and more are all within easy reach; literally steps from your door! it was a very luxurious penthouse and i would highly recommend it to anyone who is planning to visit this exciting and entertaining city |
