A group of four of us decided to take a trip to New Orleans for the first time. This home was lovely and spacious enough for us!
The host: Emily was awesome! She was prompt in her responses to questions I had and was very friendly. She let us check-in a little bit early since the cleaning staff had finished early. We had a bit of an issue with something in the house, but Emily was quick to reach out to us with a solution and was very apologetic even though it definitely wasn't her fault at all.
The space: It was nice and big. It was very well-equipped with a TV, A/C, sparkling wine, washer and dryer, and tons of towels. I think the building used to be one big house, so one of the rooms had a [locked] door that led to a space with doors to all the other units in the building. Sometimes people in the other units would try to open our door (I think they were drunk), and the walls were a bit thin, so we could hear everyone who was leaving and coming back and going up the stairs.
The location: We used Uber to go everywhere, not only because of the unit's distance from all the places we wanted to go, but also because all the Uber drivers made sure to advise us that we definitely shouldn't walk around the area. Please do not walk around outside. The most walking we did was in broad daylight from Willie Mae's to the unit, which was about a 15-minute walk. We definitely would not have done that had it not been 3 in the afternoon. But we never felt unsafe! The street itself that the house is on is totally fine.
Overall, I would recommend staying here with a group of friends, especially if you do not want to be right in the middle of all the chaos of the French Quarter.
