Don’t let the cats on the block to intimidate you. Thomas’ place is actually huge & beautiful inside, I felt right at home as soon as I walked in.
There are many cool art & vintage pieces to look at in the living room (X’mas decorations too while I was there,) the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need (I appreciated the extensive selections of really good tea,) and the guest room is decorated with the love of New Orleans. (Not in a fake tourist-pleasing kind of way., but you can tell it’s by someone who lives & loves the city) The shared bathroom was spotless clean, and you can even do your laundry while you are there. I’ve also walked to restaurants & grocery stores nearby no problem.
It’s so nice to stay at a home where someone puts a lot of care & personal touch. Highly recommended!
