We had a wonderful 4 day stay at Creole Cottage to visit my daughter who lives nearby. We wanted to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with her, and this place was perfect for our needs. The place was spotlessly clean, and the bed was the most comfortable I think I've ever slept in! It's a lovely neighborhood, perfect for strolling, very safe.
Everything was very comfortable. It was chilly while we were visiting, but heat worked great. Full bathroom is small but has a nice shower with very hot water. Cable TV and WiFi worked fine. The kitchen was great--we cooked for a crowd one night, and it was pretty well equipped for a rental. The house doesn't have a dining table, but was plenty big enough to fit all of us comfortably.
Arthur sent detailed instructions on everything related to the house, as well as great suggestions for eating out and things to do in town. The house is just a short walk to City Park, and there are restaurants and a small but well-stocked market close by. It's also close enough to the French Quarter if you want to go there (we walked during the day).
The neighborhood is very quiet, although we did hear the next-door residents upstairs walking around above the bedroom in the morning.
My only warning is be aware that the shotgun style means you walk through the bedroom to get to the kitchen. If someone was staying on the futon in living room, it could be awkward.
Nice touches were a welcome basket with some local Zapps Cajun chips, and the fridge had a few bottles of beer and local Abita root beer.
Overall, we loved Arthur's house and will definitely stay there again!
