Wow, what can I say - it was our first time in New Orleans and it was absolutely memorable, especially as it was Halloween. Jess & Bills place is the stuff of dreams. Impeccably decorated, so well designed, and it’s the little touches that make it what it is. So much information left through printed docs and guidebooks which really made all the difference to how we planned our days. I truly thought 4 nights would be enough but by the end of our stay I was desperate to extend for at least another week, there is just so much to do and see! We had manic weather the first day (the locals said it was a mini hurricane, eek!) but after that nothing but sunshine. The check in / out instructions were super clear and plenty of space for free parking. As we were there at Halloween, all the houses were incredibly decorated including their house with beautiful wooden pumpkins and lights, it really added to the atmosphere. Jess & Bill were kind enough to leave snacks and some bits in the fridge, but we ate out the entire time (when there is so much good food, why wouldn’t you!). Highly recommend Cafe Degas locally for their steak, and grab a po’boy, gumbo, and beignets in the French quarter - you won’t regret it. Also recommend doing New Orleans riverboat and driving out to Slidell to do a swamp tour which was fantastic. The best recommendation we got was to turn on 90.7 on the radio with all the NOLA jazz music which we listened to the entire time (and I’m still listening back here in London!) and gave details on who was playing and where on the day, so handy. The city was unreal and staying here really was the icing on the cake, felt like home and we were so sad to leave. I didn’t have an opportunity to meet Jess in person, but had the pleasure of meeting Bill and their lovely daughters - both were very attentive throughout our trip. Thanks both for an excellent stay, we’ll be back in an absolute heartbeat to your place and NOLA.
