Kathleen is an amazing host! The house is perfect--absolutely beautiful, inviting, spacious, quiet, and extremely convenient to get anywhere! Room deets: Bed: so super comfortable that we found ourselves sleeping in longer than we normally would at home! Also, I tend to overheat easily when I sleep but the combination of her soft, cool sheets + ceiling fan made it a perfect temp all night, even when it was hot out. I don't know if Kathleen did this intentionally, but most impressive was the perfect 2-pillow/person combo where one pillow was firm and the other was suuuuper soft and squishy. Perfect customizable head elevation. Genius. The room is also attached to a private patio which is so, so cute. Closet: plenty of hangers, bins full of all the towels you would ever need. Iron, ironing board, extra pillows, washcloths, oh my! Bathroom: Oh my god, the bathroom. Wish we could take it home with us. Sweet, sweet shower next to a full tub, all super clean. Massive vanity counter space for the ladies (or gentlemen) to lay out all their makeup and put on their faces while sitting comfortably. Drawers are filled with emergency toiletries, hair dryer, bandaids, even packets of bath treatments. Everything is awesome. Common area: we didn't spend too much time here other than to chat with Kathleen occasionally, but it is gorgeously decorated and very inviting. The kitchen is so so cute. We didn't do any cooking, but we kept some drinks in the fridge, partly as an excuse to walk into said adorable kitchen. I can't think of any more synonyms for "beautiful" and "gorgeous" at this midnighty hour, especially since I've been traveling all evening, but look it up in a thesaurus and all of the words that come up will describe the back yard. I almost wished I was a smoker so that I had a reason to be out there. Extreme patio envy. Location: Far from the odors of hot trash and urine on Bourbon st, this house is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood that is easily accessible by foot to shops, restaurants, and public transit to other parts of the city. The host: Simply lovely. Every interaction from booking to checkout was pleasant. Hell, I'm even having a good time writing this review when I clearly should be sleeping. What a kind, thoughtful person. You know that weird, uncomfortable feeling you get when you're in someone else's house with them but you don't really know them so you're all self conscious? You won't feel that here. Kathleen is a zero-pressure kind of lady that is super easy to talk to and is very reasonable with check-in/out times. Our flight was not until later in the day and she kindly allowed us to hang around far past checkout (keep in mind this is only because the next guest wasn't arriving until the next day...I don't want to set up any false expectations for others). As you can see, I can't recommend...
