Calm Vibes is exactly what it says it is. A great place to relax, while being super convenient to take the ferry over to many attractions across the river. There are 2 great breakfast/coffee places and a quaint local bar within walking distance and the river is just 3 blocks away with the levee paved and lighted for exercise walks/runs or romantic evening walks. The ferry landing is only a half mile walk and then you can walk to dozens of excellent restaurants and attractions. If you bring or rent a car, you can park immediately in front of the house under a street light. For a little old world ambience, there are chickens next door, but you can’t hear them from the bedroom. I grew up in New Orleans, so I know authentic, what’s a good neighborhood and what’s a good deal and this is it.
Ethelyn keeps the kitchen stocked with bottled water, fruit, snacks, coffee, tea, milk, almond milk, eggs, bagels. So when you arrive at night jet-lagged you don’t have to go out hunting breakfast and a cup of coffee the next morning. Everything is set up for your convenience and she is very accessible while you are there. One of the best ways to judge any service industry is customer service and how they respond to problems. Our first night the internet was blinking in and out and we let Ethelyn know. She got on it immediately, called the company and had it fixed first thing in the morning. Anything we asked about she helped us with right away. We will definitely come back and recommend Calm Vibes to our friends who are visiting New Orleans.
