Spent 9 days in NOLA at this BNB. The location of the house was one block from Magazine. A great corner store, a stones throw from the house burned down recently. Bummer really no convenience stores near. The closest store is a mile down street called Breaux Mart. There is a Walmart a mile away. Not sure which one to say is best. They both are not very good.
I was told by a local friend this is considered uptown. It’s a bit trendy and all. Lyfts to the French quarter about 12 bucks. Or walk 5 blocks up to st Charles to grab cable. Or magazine st. for a bus.
It’s a good spot to be for sure.
The unit was ok. A bit chilly at times with space heaters. It was difficult to keep bathroom warm with space heaters. A few more was needed. One window air conditioner supplied the unit. Don’t touch the back door curtain . It’s magnetic and dosent stay on very well. Fell twice while here. Washer and dryer. Kitchen stove fridge coffee etc. No tea in pantry.
Backyard courtyard picnic area.
The tv is antenna tv. No cable. The internet is also throttled down to a snails pace. Really can’t even browse the web with this internet. So we just used our phone service.
One thing about this location is it seems like a lot of these houses are Airbnb’s. So expect a lot of tourists and little locals.
Now would I return to this local? Im gonna say no. I would prolly pick a better unit in same area. Maybe closer to markets etc.
The caretaker Vic is wonderful. He is a wealth of information about the city. We would have used him more but we had some local friends.
One last thing of importance to note. The back steps handle handle is very wobbly. It’s needs to be fixed.
