About the host
Hosted by Teresa Pastor
Hi! I’m a realtor, house flipper, designer, host & mom to 5 crazy, amazing kids. Originally from Long Beach, CA & raised on a farm in S Louisiana, I definitely got the wanderlust gene. I love to travel & host people who visit, in fun spaces that I would want to stay in. Our mission is to give a portion of all of our revenue back to the community in times of need & natural disaster. Thanks for supporting the cause.
Why they chose this property
I have always had a love for downtown & the modern industrial architecture that has popped up over recent years. There's just something about being downtown & walking to a coffee shop, lunch, or to one of the many events in the downtown area. This particular building was an old mail sorting building that was renovated by a local architect, names Dillon Van Way. I have always loved his style & admired his work. I am lucky to be able to share this space with you.
What makes this property unique
The Cypress Flats is a historic Lafayette building that was previously owned by USPS and used as a sorting facility. It has since been renovated into 5 modern-industrial apartments & even preserved the door to the original vault. Located in the heart of downtown within walking distance of restaurants, nightlife, museums, shops & more!
