The house is incredibly charming. Nola offers lots of clean towels and nice toiletries (organic). The washing machine and dryer are also brand new so you’d have no problem getting things washed and dried in no time. It was very easy to check in so there wasn’t really a need to get in touch with the host. We also had Netflix to keep my little boys entertained in the mornings before heading out. If you have a car you are minutes away from where it’s all happening (French Quarter...). May be worth bringing your own bedsheets.
