We LOVED our time at Kristin's place in NOLA.
The location and townhouse are both amazing, and the communication was great. Easy check-in, comfortable beds, GORGEOUS house, nice amenities (wish I could take the bathroom home with me). The neighborhood is really convenient and we felt safe. Loved walking downtown or to Magazine / the Garden District. It's a bit of a hike from downtown (~1.5 miles), but it's right off the street car so if your dogs are barking that is another super convenient and efficient option. I was generally really impressed with all of the public transportation in NOLA - was able to ride the city bus a few times easily as well (just download the Le Pass app). We even had a rental car which in hindsight was totally unnecessary, but we had no issues parking it on the street near the rental.
There are a lot of steep stairs in the house and no bathroom on the top story - absolutely no issue for us, but just something to be aware of! We hope to come back!
