We can't say enough about the great experience we had in staying in Brian's apartment by the lake. He was so accommodating! We had originally booked his other apartment and decided to extend our stay and he arranged for us to switch to this apartment which was newly renovated. Brian is a great communicator and gets right back to you if you have questions or concerns...he couldn't be nicer or more professional. I really appreciate everything he did for us!
When we got to the property to check in, he was there and we even got to meet his mom who was there admiring his renovations -- we really enjoyed talking with her. The apartment was beautiful and all the little touches in all the rooms were amazing (live orchids and plants, a bathroom fully stocked with everything you would need -- shampoo/conditioner, shower gel, facial wipes, hand soap -- and all very high quality)! The artwork on the walls and all the kitchen utensils and plates/glasses barware are very nice. A washer and dryer (and detergent!) was a pleasant surprise and a very nice TV including premium channels. I could go on and on...the bed was super comfortable with really nice bedding. Also, because the place was brand new, some of things like the stove had not been used. When we went to use it, it had not been fully hooked up. We contacted Brian (who lives in the building) and he worked diligently to find a serviceperson to hook it up for us, keeping us informed at every step.
The outside of Brian's building has a beautiful outdoor space that is so relaxing to sit and have a cold drink or cup of coffee. It was fun to meet Brian's adorable children and his wife and also watch him play ball with his son. Lastly, the location of the apartment is great as you can leave your car in the apartment parking area and Uber/Lyft most anywhere in the city without any hassle of parking. The lakefront area is also fun to explore with wonderful seafood restaurants within a stone's throw and access to the running/biking path on the levee. We stayed at Brian's apartment for a total of 11 nights and it was really nice to come back to after a long day at Jazz Fest. This apartment is wonderful and so is Brian -- I highly recommend it and we won't hesitate to stay there again -- thank you, Brian!
