This was such a great stay! Emily's place is so homey. We loved all the little decor details, extensive artwork, super high ceilings and gauzy curtains for privacy, which let in light but are impossible to see through from the outside. As a couple, we appreciated having two bedroom options: The first is off the living room and has a lovely bright morning vibe. The second is tucked back a bit and is a little quieter and stays really dark. Both beds were super comfy. The kitchenette was sufficient for our needs, and we loved having the table and comfy chair options throughout for getting a little work done.
The neighborhood was great! We loved how walkable it was to great spots in the Marigny, and the French Quarter was not much further. Emily's street is pretty quiet; the only con is that you can hear the train whistles pretty often, but I think that you'd get that anywhere in this neighborhood.
Emily and her family made great hosts. She clearly loves to connect with and help guests.
She had so many helpful recommendations (even for our next travel destinations!) and was always super responsive. We had a couple issues with the wifi, but all it took was resetting the router/extenders, and she hopped on it immediately. They were also terrific neighbors, very considerate about noise, even with a young child. We barely heard them the whole time.
All in all, excellent stay and we'll definitely book again if/when we come back to New Orleans!
