The place was exactly as described. The neighborhood was not scary at all to me. It reminded me of the neighborhood I grew up in. Small, normal working class area. The entire home was clean and loved the modernization of home. The smell of the linens was wonderful. I caught myself peaking in the laundry room to see what Rachel was using. Even with Rachel and her family next door. She never bothered us and I hope we didn’t bother them. Yes dividing wall is thin but it’s like any other duplex and/or apartment type living. Thank you Rachel for your detailed book of your recommendations. We took you up on a few of them. When I was in search of MLK parades, Rachel took to the internet as well to help me. Super appreciated that…. This was my surprise 40th birthday trip from my husband and NOLA doesn’t owe me anything. Definitely will return hopefully this spring. Again thank you Rachel and family for hosting us.
