The light that pours into the kitchen is so beautiful, and you get views of the greenery in the back patio. I loved spending my month working on my laptop there. I love the antique furniture, and the place strikes that right balance between old but still having your modern comforts. I was here during a mostly cold snap, so the heater worked great (tricky getting started, but the hostess helped me) and I’d buy Epsom salts from the coop store across the street and then I’d thaw out in the freestanding tub. The bed was squeaky but super comfy. Between the intermittent hum of the fridge and the heater, I wasn’t bothered by the distant sound of the train. My sleeping app told me I slept on average an hour longer here than back at home. Being here for a relatively long time, Zahara/Lisa did have electricians etc come by to work on the house, but mostly outdoors—only once they had to come into my space. She was very good at communication, though, including letting me know when she needed to share the laundry in the shed in the back patio. She also took me out to see one of the parades, and she owns a wonderful vintage shop just about a block away. She is an amazing hostess! I asked if she had a teapot and she brought down one the same day. The location is a chill, quiet neighborhood but within walking distance to Frenchmen St and French Quarter and a lot of fantastic restaurants (some more local than touristy). I definitely want to come back!
