Jeff’s place is in a perfect location in a beautiful setting. It is walking distance to French Quarter, Frenchman Street, and two streetcar lines. The home is on a beautiful avenue lined with gorgeous Live Oak trees and beautiful historic homes.
The space is nice and charming. The bed is comfortable and has good pillows. The kitchen is very small, but who comes to NOLA to cook?! It was sufficient and had a good fridge for beverages during our stay, and there’s a coffee maker, microwave, and small stove.
The only downfall to this space is the bathroom, and unfortunately it is a BIG downfall. For starters it is very small. Only one person can comfortably be in the space at a time. The sink does not have a vanity or shelving above it to place anything. There is no place to leave a toothbrush, set down your hairdryer, leave a comb, etc. the closest surface, and it is very close, is the back of the toilet. GROSS! Which leads me to the best part of all! The toilet faces the shower about 18 inches away and is maybe 4 inches off the wall which makes it difficult to sit on without turning slightly. It also sits on a raised floor and an additional pedestal making it very high. Unless you are 6’3 or taller your feet won’t touch the floor. The only relief you have is to rest your feet on the edge of the bathtub (good thing it’s so close I suppose). Finally, this seems very small in comparison to the atrocious sink/toilet setup, but there is not a full length mirror anywhere in the place.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and made the best of it, but after 4 days we were dreaming of our bathroom back home!
