The cottage was exactly as presented. We loved it. We arrived earlier than expected because I didn't pay attention to the check-in time (2 pm). We used the time to explore the neighborhood and the nearby French quarter. When we returned Paul had our space ready and spotless. Paul is a charming guy and his dogs are very friendly. They all made us feel vey welcome. About a block away a new street car line is under construction. When completed it should make it very easy and convenient to reach all of New Orleans. In the meantime, enjoy the French Quarter by walking its streets. We also found the people of New Orleans to be very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a city we will return to in the future.
