My husband and I stayed 5 wonderful nights at this unique rental. Isobel and Holis were terrific hosts. The rental was very clean and tidy, yet filled with great art, artsy knick-knacks, and bedecked for the upcoming Mardi Gras season. The bed was very comfortable. Nice size bathroom. The kitchen looked pretty well stocked, but I have to say we didn't cook a thing. They left us yummy bottles of local Abita Amber & Rootbeer. They even gave my husband a cake for his 40th birthday - traditional Kings Cake! We made the most of each hour in NOLA, leaving early each morning and coming back in the evenings. Holis and Isobel provided a guide to local bars and restaurants with menus. Great eats literally just blocks from the rental.

We did not rent a car, and it was a good six block hike to the streetcar line. Due to the soft ground, the sidewalks are quite uneven. So, bring your good walking shoes or rent a car. I will say though, the neighborhood was quite nice - we did not feel uneasy even walking late at night. Many beautiful homes, and many homes in the midst of reconstruction.
