This was my first time in the city, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the accommodations and the location of Miss Polly’s house! We had been planning our trip since last year, and I had several friends coming with me at first. I reserved the house originally at the beginning of the year for the second week in September. I let Polly know in advance that some of my friends were flaky, and the original number of guests would most likely change over 9 months, she was very understanding and accommodating towards us when I changed the number of guests a few times. When Hurricane Ida hit, and we were unsure of whether or not we could come, Polly kept us informed of the state of things in the city every step of the way, and went out of her way to ensure we had the information we needed to reschedule our trip. She even allowed us to take a few extra days to make a decision past the AirBnB date of rescheduling, thereby allowing us to save a rescheduling/cancellation fee. I will always be eternally grateful to her for this. The house itself, was amazing! It’s old, like many houses in New Orleans, which is so much of the charm, but lovingly preserved and kept up, and so incredibly comfortable. I felt like I was coming to my own house, so comforting to settle in after a long day of sight seeing. Polly provided us with a little homemade guide book, that lays out the rules of the house in a very clear and unobtrusive way, and even gives some suggestions of beloved nearby restaurants and tourist stops that can help steer the novice guest in the right direction. All the beds were super comfortable, and the big sectional couch in the middle of the living room was so soft and inviting. We loved hanging out there at night when we got back from the bars, and just relaxing. Towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, and laundry soap are all provided, which was a great plus, and local coffee is provided in the kitchen which was great for my group of coffee drinkers. We especially loved the back patio, a comfy set of patio chairs and table framed by beautiful palm and magnolia trees. We all are smokers, so we really enjoyed hanging out back there and drinking beers, and smoking cigarettes. The House is in an ideal location, as well. I was especially excited to walk through, and be in the Garden District, and the house is so close to the heart of the area, and only a 5 minute (or less) walk to the Historic St. Charles Street Car Line, which was so great and cheap to use to get around. Overall, we had a fantastic experience, and a large portion of that was because of the amazing house we stayed in. We are definitely planning on coming back soon, and staying with Polly. I can’t recommend her house and hospitality enough.
