Beautiful old home steps away from Streetcar and short walk to City Park! We stayed for 5 nights in this lovely home. While we never ran into Anne, she was readily available via text and responsive. This home is perfect for you if you are looking to “unplug” in a quite and safe neighborhood. Kitchen is pretty complete with most things needed to make quick meals. There is a Keurig coffee machine and kettle for tea.
Our party included two adults and two 10 yr olds. The walls in this home are very thin and you may experience some shared sounds with the owners. We did not find this to be much of a problem.
The home is listed to sleep 4. There is a bedroom upstairs with a memory foam queen mattress which was comfortable. Downstairs there is a sofa sleeper. We found the sofa sleeper to be very uncomfortable and so thin you could feel the springs and so we opted to sleep upstairs on the floor and made a makeshift bed. There was a mattress pad located in the upstairs bedroom closet which I assumed was for the sofa sleeper but it didn’t help it much. We almost went and bought an air mattress but never got around to it. Honestly that was the only issue we had the entire trip. It was not ideal sleeping arrangements but we made due bc the location was great the host was very nice and the house was clean and worked for us during our stay. One other thing to mention would be spotty wifi which wasn’t too big of a deal bc we tried to stay “unplugged” during the trip. Downstairs the reception is at its best. There is a Rouses Grocery store a few block away within walking distance and a delicious bbq spot on the corner by the house called Blue Oak. Taking the street car is so easy from this home and is a great idea for those who aren’t in a rush. Takes about 20 min or less to get to the Quarter on the streetcar but it’s really fun. It’s about an $10 Uber to the Quarter and only takes about 6 min. Again you can walk to City Park and spend the whole day exploring its beautiful grounds. This is a beautiful home and definitely family friendly. I recommend staying here for a relaxing vacation away from all the hustle and bustle of the Quarter. We loved our stay and hope to return next year!
