Spacious floor plan and fenced in side yard were PERFECT for travel with kids for an entire week. Our family of five never felt cramped and the kids had room to run and play safely in the secured yard. They loved the banana trees! Inside was very clean, well-appointed in the bathroom and bedrooms. Be aware that if you intend to use the kitchen much, you will want to bring your own kitchenware. There are plenty of serving utensils and dishes, but we had to get creative with the actual prep of some of our meals. Plenty of dish and laundry soap to run the household during a longer stay.
The neighborhood itself is friendly and safe and full of cultural experiences. There are several cute shops, eateries, and supermarkets close by, but if you plan to walk to either City Park or French Quarter, be aware that you may cross some streets that could be dangerous at certain times of the day or if walking alone. We ended up driving after two separate incidents, which really is not a huge deal since it takes less than 10 minutes to arrive at either destination.
The front bedroom does have some street noise- bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Overall, the house is pretty quiet M-Th, but on Friday-Sun the caribbean club next door is open until 4:30 a.m. We LOVED the reggae music coming through, but the patrons on the patio could be quite loud which can be tricky for little kiddos. Just be aware- the middle and back bedrooms are a little quieter and better for light sleepers.
Wendy Justine is awesome! We had a great stay, and I would definitely recommend her place to anyone visiting New Orleans!
