Heather's place was even better than the pictures, only because the pictures can't capture just how cozy and spacious her apt is. As soon as you walk in, it smells like fresh linens, and every inch is spotless. I loved the kitchen supplies, and coffee/tea tray that was offered. The bed was very comfortable, big enough for my girlfriend and I to share with ample space. The air conditioner in the living room, and bedroom, along with the ceiling fans gave plenty of options too cool down, especially on those warm days. Loved having the Roku for when we turned down for the night and just wanted to unwind w/ some tv before bed. Heather was very prompt in her replies, within minutes. We had a minor malfunction with the shower (it had broken the day before we checked in), but Heather gave constant updates and we always knew what was going on, which we appreciated. She was a very friendly, sweet, and organized host.

As far as location, we mostly hung out in the french quarter, but uber'g there was a ~$10 ride, and cars were plentiful. We enjoyed being walking distance to Freret street where all the cool cafe's and restaurants are. I wouldn't recommend walking around the area at night, but the immediate block where the house is feels very safe, quiet, & well-lit. So you don't have to worry about strangers hanging on corners following you home or anything.

We found this gem because we came on Halloween/Voodoo fest weekend when EVERYTHING was booked, and I'm so glad we did. I would definitely recommend this place!
