Alice’s home is a taste of New Orleans history, she has meticulously decorated so that every feature feels and resembles a true shotgun house. Nestled on a quiet street across from an old graveyard, in a sweet little neighborhood with a pizza shop less than a block away and a fun Irish pub to grab drinks. If you’re wanting a downtown experience the trolley is a brief walk and only takes about 35 minutes to the center of town. We rented a car which I believe is truly a must, as you were able to take her experience even further and visit a plantation drive around the city and taking all the sites.
Alice is one of the most lovely hosts I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Her and her three little whippets are so sweet and accommodating, it really felt like home. We even grabbed beignets and coffee at the city park as we found out it was her birthday while we were there. Anything we needed she was there with a quick response. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. If you’re really wanting to dive into the culture of New Orleans, have a clean, cute place to stay, and a host that really cares, this is the place. We can’t wait to go back.
