Despite how the house looks on the outside, the internal part of the house met our expectations. The rooms were as advertised and nice and spacious. The details on check-in and where to locate extra toiletries or cleaning supplies etc were easy to navigate. We actually set the alarm off during check-in which was extremely loud and let us know that we were safe lol.
People in the neighborhood were extremely friendly as we went on several walks during our stay. There’s a Ferry that is 10 minutes away (walking) that takes you to St. Bernard for about $2pp or vehicle I believe. There’s another (think a little further) that gets you to Bourbon and Canal St., which might be more cost efficient than ride share. Speaking of, it’s in West Bank, so if you plan to party, so be mindful of having to ride share as you’re 20 minutes away from the city. Or, if you plan ahead, you could probably rent a car. But if you want to be away from all of the action, this is perfect for that (it was soooo quiet lol). But if you want to be closer to the action (walking distance), this isn’t it.
There’s a Walmart and some other stores about a 10 minute drive away to pick up some groceries and such for the house as it was stocked with pots and pans to cook in. But you’d need other materials that hopefully get left behind and just become a communal thing. We left some things there and hope the next guests can make use of them.
Brigitte shared some activities that were happening during our stay, NBA playoffs, HER concert, French Quarter Festival and also offered some advice on staying safe in that heat.
Overall, we definitely enjoyed our stay , creating new memories and reading the memories in the guest book that sits on the table in the living room.
