The cottage is very beautiful externally; the room is modern and tastefully renovated; the bed was very comfortable; and the bathroom huge and lovely.
Check in was very easy, with a passcode given to let ourselves in through the private access. However, we were quite surprised that Lanay didn’t once come to welcome us to her home or introduce herself during our 4 day stay. There was no information given about the area, how to get around, or where to go. We were continuously warned by taxi/Uber drivers, locals, and the police about how dangerous the neighbourhood is. Even during the day we found ourselves in an area a few blocks away that made us feel terrified.
It didn’t feel like Lanay cared about helping us enjoy our time there. On our first morning there we were woken by someone cutting the lawn immediately outside the ground floor window at 7am. There were no helpful tips left for us, not even a glass provided for us to have a drink of water.
We loved our time in New Orleans and all the amazing people, but we
wouldn’t stay here again.
