Three of us stayed at Candice's for 5 days to explore NOLA following a one week cruise. The location is perfect. It's a quiet neighbourhood but a quick uber to anywhere you want to go. If you want to stay in, there are lots of close options on GrubHub (try Dickey's BBQ). There is a grocery store and a couple restaurants within a 10-15 min walk as well as a laundromat (beware the people from the race track bring their horse blankets there so look in the machines before you put your own clothes in).
Candice keeps her place sparkling clean and we were greeted with a nice clean smell when we walked in. Check in was a breeze, as well as check out, and although Candice is close by, she provides everything you could possible need. The snacks and drinks were a welcome touch after travelling and the local tips on restaurants, things to do and whatnot were spot on...just a shame you don't have time to try them all! She is a very thoughtful host and has truly anticipated everything you might need. Plus, you have the pleasure of staying in a very tastefully decorated space! It's very comfortable...the beds and living room seating was great, and each room has it's own climate control with a wall mount heater/AC unit. Spacious bathroom with a great shower and lots of hot water.
