Firstly, look no further than this place for safety, luxury, location and affordability rolled into one exceptional shotgun house. Like many searchers, we spent hours combing for the best deal for the total package and after staying here we know that the other few that were in the running couldn't hold a candle to this place at the end of the day! Don't gamble on the others and count yourselves lucky if this one is available at all! If it is? BOOK IT! The design details alone organically connecting with the stayee will more than impress. Its like the house knows what you need and before you have to hunt for it, wallah, it appears in the form of some niche' closet or cabinet. Off street, gated parking a big plus too. Like all things NOLA, a block or two in a direction leaves you hopeful that all of the buildings will end up so loved as is this one by gracious host, Grady, but its hardly compromise to this lovely block and the offerings of this house! The other immediate blocks are full of stunning properties and makes for great strolling just around the corner. Close to streetcar line by couple of blocks, near an incredible wine grocery/deli, Martin's and about everything else within reach. The glass shower and elegantly curved bathtub worth the admission price alone! We loved that Grady stopped by when we arrived with her granddaughter to make us feel welcome right away and to see if we needed anything and gave us good advice on some of our questions. As they say too in this world, "its the little things," and so from a live orchid in the kitchen to the Cafe du Monde' NOLA coffee in the kitchen cabinet, made us feel like they "thought of everything." We literally have no complaints only compliments and as I expressed to Grady, I can only hope that the place has received design awards because the intelligence level that went into it with design knack is over the top but in the right ways. If anything, this house was one of our visit's most important and successful decisions and made New Orleans even more of a successful trip. We cannot wait to come back for a stay and will be praying the home will remember us as fondly!
