Our stay at Vaughn's was great. The beds and pillows are all super comfy, each bedroom has its own space heater (and AC), and the bathroom and entire dwelling space were sparkling clean upon arrival. There were plenty of coat hangers to store clothing in both closets. The bidet was also a nice touch.
Vaughn was very responsive communicating with me on our way there, and also was very hospitable and accommodating.
Please take Vaughn's advice and do NOT miss breakfast at Toast, literally right around the corner. Chicken and waffles do not disappoint. Everything we ate there was amazing, and you can join the wait list from Vaughn's using Yelp to cut down on wait time at the restaurant. (Or go early if you are a getter-upper).
The house is also close to beautiful City Park, (less than ten minutes drive) where you can get Cafe du Monde beignets and coffee without standing in line forever like you would at the French market. Take a walk through the sculpture gardens. :-)
I would suggest taking an Uber to French quarter and other busy areas.
There is a small mini fridge in the dwelling space to store leftovers or things that need refrigeration. My mom enjoyed that there was also a little library of books in our area, and perused some of Vaughn's recipe books during our morning coffee.
Keurig coffee, powdered creamer, sugar, and good quality to-go cups (not styrofoam) were provided along with stir sticks, etc.
Vaughn's office is located within the downstairs area where you will be, so he will be passing through the common areas in morning/day times. It is not a completely closed off space.
Temps were low during our visit, and the space heaters with remote control in the bedrooms kept us cozy and warm for sleeping. The spacious seating area could be a little bit chilly at times during our stay, but there was a large extra blanket in one of the closets that came in handy. (We are from Florida, so we're pretty big wussies when it comes to cooler temps)
No need to worry with warmer temps as there are multiple AC units. There is a cat named Skinny Pete who may make occasional cameo appearances, and a little Chihuahua whom we didn't see much of. We love animals, so these were pluses in our book.
Would stay here again. Liked the area and less noise than you'd find in more crowded areas.
