We stayed here to drop our daughter off at Loyola University and to tour Nawlins.
We've been on an extended trip and staying at Airbnb and VRBO properties along the way so we have a good idea of what 3, 4 and 5 star stays are. I use the word stay because there's more to it than just the physical aspects of the property, though that's the most important part. Also, very important to me is the location and quality of the host.
This was a great location for us because it was real close to Loyola and also a reasonable distance from the French Quarter. Pro tip: when we stayed here trolley car run started at St Charles and Napoleon which is just a short walk from this home.
There are also three great eating establishments right on the same block: French Truck Coffee, Charlie Steakhouse and Pascal's Manale. We tried each of them and they're all excellent. Pro tip: when you go to French truck get one of their Punch cards and you'll get a free coffee after you buy 8.
Rochelle was an outstanding host; one of the best we've had. She greeted us at the place when we arrived. She gave us a heads-up that there was a possible minor issue with the home that she was having handled that same day. we didn't notice a thing but we appreciated her forthrightness. After a couple days, when I mentioned it would be nice to have a spatula for the next guest, she went out and brought a brand new one for us.
The property is about 4.3 stars. Given the very old age and style of the home this is a very good score. The place was excellent overall. There are just a couple of things to note. It's shotgun style (Google it), which Rochelle fully discloses in her listing. I'm just not a fan of the style, but it worked out okay for us. I found the memory foam mattress comfortable enough, but a couple of our party thought they became more uncomfortable the longer they were on them. Just personal preference I guess.
It was great having a washer/dryer and dishwasher since we were there for a week. It also has everything you need for cooking though we only cooked a few breakfasts because it's New Orleans after all!...wanted to have as much local food as we could!
Bottom line: 5 stars overall.
Thanks Rochelle!
