Jodi’s house was such a wonderful part of our vacation!! It was so nice to come back to at the end of our long days exploring New Orleans. It was really quiet and relaxing! And it was nice to pass neighbors on the street who always had friendly smiles & kind words to say.
The house itself is a traditional shotgun home & is SO COOL! I love old homes so it was perfect in my eyes. It got pretty chilly while we were there (which every local said was rare!) but there are heaters & extra blankets which warmed us right back up.
We could walk to most of the places (especially restaurants) that we wanted to go to, but when walking seemed too far it was really easy to call a Lyft. We also chose to use Lyft at night instead of walking, but honestly we would have done that anywhere in the city since we were new to the area.
We found ourselves getting coffee and snacks at St. Roch Market quite a few times during our trip because it’s a 3-5 minute walk from Jodi’s and it was incredible. Our first evening it was especially nice because we were tired from traveling and it was just a quick stroll for good eats (& even better cupcakes!) The rest of our trip was filled with amazing food too...it would take much longer than a week to get through all of the good food in this city! We definitely utilized Jodi’s recommendations as well as any we got from Lyft drivers, local store owners & anyone else from the area. We were NEVER disappointed with any of our meal choices.
I can’t say enough how amazing New Orleans is and how awesome it was to stay at Jodi’s where it felt like we could really be a part of it all (and not feel super touristy!) We’ll definitely be back & hopefully Jodi’s home will be available when we do :)
