The location and proximity to St. Charles and Carrollton were why we booked this home. There were just the two of us and we were gone to JazzFest or out with friends all weekend so the lack of a formal kitchen area was fine.
The exterior garden is beautiful. The interior is exactly what one should expect for a nearly century-old home in NOLA. It’s not going to be in perfect condition. It might lack certain modern conveniences. We’ve stayed in NOLA cottages for years and that is part of the charm. If you expect hotel quality, stay in one when you come to NOLA. A cottage or duplex is what it is, especially for the price and location.
