Great for location, this property is a stones throw from the French Quarter, the Frenchmen Street jazz bars and the hipster life in Marigny. It’s easily accessible from the airport and not a problem for cabs (although as it’s on the Maringy Triangle and there were some roads closed, our satnav struggled with the street).

Inside it ticks all the boxes for a trendy shotgun renovation. It’s an exciting place to arrive at and definitely has the potential to enhance a trip to NOLA. It was great having a washer and dryer, the kitchen worked well and was excellently equipped. There’s no street noise, although there is an excitable dog out at the back.

It’s probably worth noting that the windows face on to a brick wall, and this, combined with the brick and wood interior makes the property quite dark inside. If you’re looking for a fun base from which to get out and explore the city, this is perfect, if however, you’re after somewhere to spend the afternoons, do a bit of work or have a lengthy stay, this might feel a bit oppressive. There is a small shared outdoor space, but it is small, and again quite dark.

We had great interaction with our hosts who were easy going and happy to do what they could to make our stay comfortable.
