We recently spent a long weekend in Nola and stayed at Brian’s efficiency apartment. Overall, we were extremely pleased with both the property and the location! What drew us to Brian’s apartment initially was that in his bio, he stated that he was a frequent traveler and knew what he liked to see when he stayed somewhere. This showed through and through, and made for quite an enjoyable visit.

The apartment itself is attached to Brian’s main property, and is perfectly suited for two people. It has a small kitchen which came pre-stocked with goodies such as beer, coffee, yogurt and hummus. The bedroom is sufficiently sized, with a small tv. Then the bathroom in the back is very clean and nice, and also decently sized.

I think our favorite thing though, was all of the small details that came with the rental, above and beyond what we have experienced at other places we have stayed. This included:

-The Book. Other reviewers have said how helpful it is, and we couldn’t agree more. Gives you some good perspective on the area, rather than kind of flying blind. It was nicely organized, and well written.
-The bathroom towels were super soft. A real pleasant surprise. I even checked the tags on them so I could buy them myself.
-The heating/AC unit. It’s large, hotel quality, and also has a continuously running fan for good white noise, which we also do at home, so it was great. We didn’t hear a peep when we slept.
-The property is on a small cul de sac, so there’s no thru traffic, and it feels peaceful and isolated, but literally just around the corner are a bunch of food places, stores, etc., so you’re really not isolated at all.
-Private entrance with your own little outdoor area.
-Well functioning wifi.
-The bathroom had all of the essentials that a hotel would have, and this includes a hairdryer. There were even cotton pads and makeup remover. Nice!

We love the Mid-City/City Park area of Nola anyway, and Brian’s property was even better than our usual ‘actual’ B&B that we stay in around the corner. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks Brian!
