Andy literally and figuratively opened his home and his heart to host us. The ‘room’ was advertised as one bed – we were so concerned that we will have to share toilet with the main house but a nice email assured us that we will have our own one. It was easy and efficient to communicate with Andy before we made the booking and even more so afterwards. Andy was always a phone-call way in very odd hours. We were so delighted to arrive and to see that it is actually a standalone building that has: Weather protection - built in state of the art quiet air-condition unit to keep the tenants comfortable. It is so quiet and efficient that one can sleep through the night and not hear it humming yet the room is well ventilated and climate controlled. The room is well lit during the day and had numerous ceiling lights to keep the room illuminated after sunset. Kitchenette with microwave, fridge, hot water cattle, indoor garbage can, and much appreciated sink. We noticed that in New Orleans in general there is no much awareness for recycling. Shower and toilet have specious room for our very own usage, no sharing with other tourists. At the entry way there is a crescent table with two chairs just enough for a cozy romantic breakfast. There is also a two seated sofa providing much needed place for sitting and regrouping. There are also two chests of drawers and a hanging closet so one can unpack and don’t live-off their suitcases. In the kitchen area there is a wooden desk/table for paperwork, eating, etc. Nice double bed with great mattress that will keep your posture through the night, we woke up each morning rested refreshed and ready for our daily excursions. We were amazed that the room came with fresh clean linens and towels (we actually brought some with us from home and never had to use them). This room is definitely under advertising its high qualities. Location is a huge advantage since parking in New Orleans could be challenging especially during Mardi Gras. The very 1st thing after we got the key Andy literally walked with us around the block pointing important ‘things’ like the local supermarket, gas station, some ethnic restaurants and truly was interested in our wellbeing. From Andy’s room we did all the walking tours that were mention in our tourist book it was an easy walk to the: French quarters, the warehouse district, the garden district, upper & lower French quarter, riverfront moon walk, city sculpture tour, urban architecture independent tour. Since we visited during Mardi Gras we had easy walking access to ALL the parades day & night. We spent 8 days 7 nights in New Orleans exploring the city’s music niches, dancing floors, architecture, outdoors, enjoying Mardi Gras never-ending festival. Thank you Andy for making us feels welcome at your home it was truly lovely to be with. We trust the future guest will have...
