This spot was perfect for location and classic charm. If you like to shoot the shxt, Don is your guy (really, all the locals are). My friend and I flew in from CO and NC for an annual vacation and had both never been to NOLA. The place is cozy as all get out and in a quiet neighborhood. We were out at all hours and felt relatively safe walking miles in any direction. There were multiple spaces to lounge both within the house and outside. The front gate is a little tricky, but there is no need to stress. Don will respond to your concerns quick as lightning. The only downsides that kept this stay at 4 stars for us were the following:
1. Wifi only really works in the kitchen.
2. The sheets would not stay on the mattress in the front room and looked worse for wear in the master bedroom. This was probably the most significant problem we faced and a quick fix.
3. The hot water pressure was very poor but not unmanageable. (Don informed us that resolve is coming soon here, future guests).
To end on a high note, we rented a car and always had street parking. There are friendly neighborhood cats and good food and people on every corner. This spot should be at the top of your list!
