We were looking for a last minute place to stay in or near New Orleans after other plans had fallen through. We also needed a place that was dog friendly. BringFido.com actually pointed us in Polly's direction. We liked the location and the amenities and the price was excellent for a last minute booking.
For us - the location was close to a lot of good restaurants and access to public transportation. The Garden District is a very quiet part of town - we were surprised how quiet our street was. It made for a very pleasant late night walk each night with our Bullmastiff. We met lots of other dog walkers out after dark - a very pet friendly neighborhood!! The house was cozy and was decorated very nicely. It also had many nice touches - especially in the kitchen - there were all kinds of goodies in the cabinets and lots of items if you needed or wanted to cook. The bathroom had great towels and a great removable shower head. There again plenty of extras in the bathroom in case you forgot anything. The patio space is very private and very relaxing - it is buffered from the street through a couple of gates and from the neighbors with lots of mature, well placed foliage. Having a parking space off of the street was very nice when most people have to park on the street. The parking area was gated with an opener and was partially shaded which was nice in June! The house had good air conditioning - the heat index was above 100 degrees almost everyday we were there so that was much appreciated.
For the pup - Polly had a dog bed in the main bedroom closet for us to use. Our dog appreciated the extra special touch! The yard was very private and allowed a good place for the pup to explore and a great place for us to hang-out in the morning and late at night. There were many restaurants and shops nearby that were pup friendly so our dog appreciated that!
It had been 40 years since I last visited NOLA (my wife has never visited), so I was a little rusty on the area, but Polly had several really good local guides, made us a list of restaurants, and had lots of brochures for local attractions.
