Excellent location - just a few blocks from the St. Charles street car which made for cheap and easy transportation down to the French Quarter. It is at the end of the line so it takes almost an hour to get all the way downtown, but we enjoyed the scenic route, and that made it easy to remember when to get off on our way home. We also took Uber/Lyft rides which were 15-20 mins from the Quarter and never too expensive. We loved that the home was close enough to explore downtown anytime we wanted, but in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
Me and a friend stayed for three nights at Amanda's place, and felt welcomed and immediately comfortable in her home! She has a flexible work schedule, so was quick to respond to messages, greeted us at check-in, and was home in the evenings with her son and sometimes her boyfriend as well. Everyone was friendly, personable, and very helpful with tips and suggestions for local places to try. We sat down with Amanda and her kiddo one night for a movie which was fun, but were also given our space and privacy to do our own thing whenever we were at the house. We also enjoyed the company of the two well-behaved dogs.
The room was spacious, clean, and leads out to the back yard where we enjoyed sitting out in the sun when we could! We would recommend Amanda's place for short getaways or longer stays!
