This home is gorgeous! If you are looking for a comfortable and welcoming neighborhood experience, this home is for you. This house is gorgeous! Did I say that already? I loved the relaxing colors, the high ceilings, and the enormous size of this home. There are live plants, and local art throughout the house. The bed in the Master is dreamy. I often have sleep troubles away from home but this mattress was so perfect, that I slept like a rock. I definitely do not visit New Orleans to cook at home, but if I had wanted to, the kitchen was perfectly equipped. Mike and Alyssa even thought of the small stuff like condiments and seasonings, different coffees and teas, umbrellas, and rain ponchos. And personal luxuries like a magnified mirror, flushable wipes, makeup remover wipes, hair dryers (yes, plural), a curling wand, and a straightener.
The Bywater and Marigny areas of New Orleans are my absolute favorite. Alissa and Mike's home offers the convenience of being situated on the edge of both. There are an abundance of neighborhood bars and eateries and the street art is amazing! There's a Muck Rock right across the street! If the Quarter is more your scene, it's a nice stroll or a quick Uber away. My only minor complaint is the train. I've never stayed East of Franklin before so waiting on that train was frustrating at times.
Overall, this was the perfect home for my family's stay. We 5 adults had plenty of room to rest during down time and great access to all we love about New Orleans.
