Dana's house was wonderful! There was plenty of room for our party of three. The beds!! One of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in! I'm honestly looking to get some of those mattresses for my own home.
The neighborhood was very walkable. We never felt unsafe. There is a Walgreens nearby for quick shopping. Some spots to check out are Banks Street Bar for music and drinks, Wakin Bakin or Blue Dot Donuts for breakfast and Brown Butter Southern Kitchen for brunch. A little further walk (or a short drive) away is Parkway Bakery & Tavern, Wrong Iron on the Greenway, Bayou Beer Garden, and 504 Craft Beer Reserve. We even walked to City Park to see the Sculpture Gardens and have Cafe du Monde!
Streetcar services are still in transition due the Hard Rock collapse. Therefore, you have to get off at Lasalle and walk to Baronne to continue down to the river. Coming back, be sure to choose the 'Cemetaries' streetcar, which drops you right in front of the house, as opposed to the 'City Park' streetcar, which turns at Carrollton.
There are 3 flights of stairs to get to the apartment so be prepared for that. If you're returning after dark, the lighting down the side of the building may not stay on quite long enough so have your phone flashlight on just to be safe. Plenty of dishes and cookware are avaliable if you choose to stay in and cook. The patio provided a great place to hang out on some of the cooler nights.
Overall, we had wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!
