LOOK NO FURTHER!! A group of 8 women stayed at Sams for a long weekend and had a phenomenal time. You couldn’t have asked for more. We wish the weekend was longer to enjoy the pool !
Here is what you need to know: the house is decorated perfectly to showcase local artists and get the real NOLA vibe and experience. It’s also great for groups with a nice large living room and couch setup. A long table to gather and reminisce about what happened on Bourbon the night before. You will need to Uber to the French quarter but it’s max $10. We also Uber’d to garden district and jazz museum, again- $10 max. Ride from the airport is only costlier ride but with 3 or more people it’s guaranteed $15/person per Néw Orleans rules. There are local grocery stores in walking distance but if you are looking for specific items, I would just skip the hassle of walking and finding and just Uber to Whole Foods. It’s a 3 minute ride. We also had alcohol and food just delivered to the house which is easy to locate and a service we utilized!
Also, each bedroom has comfortable beds, very nice sheets and brand new hotel pillows. The towels are nice and new and the shampoo/conditioner/body wash set up in each bathroom sets it above the mark. The blow dryers and hangers provided were great add-ons as well. The kitchen had basic items you needed but again, if you are specific, run by the Whole Foods.
Last but certainly not least- the pool area. It rained on our weekend in NOLA but we still enjoyed the backyard. There is a nice big tv with another great couch area for gathering. And the pool loungers are the perfect touch.
As for the sleeping arrangements it is as advertised. 2 bedrooms with 2 queen beds (amazingly comfortable), 1 of those rooms has an attached bath. Another room with 1 queen bed and upgraded attached bath(our bachelorette got this room) and another room with just a queen bed and no bathroom but the laundry units were in there. There is a separate full bath off the kitchen and another powder room off the back half of the house. Perfect for getting ready with natural light! This house has big windows everywhere, which should be enjoyed. The last bedroom in the back wasn’t used much as it’s the only access to the backyard. We wanted access the backyard without disturbing anyone that might be sleeping in there. But it’s nice to have the extra room.
The only downside is there is a body shop next door the house on one side that creates a lot of traffic and noise but we were never bothered by anyone and they weren’t open Saturday nor Sunday. The restaurant next door on the other side is quiet and keeps to themselves. The street out front is loud but you don’t hear it when you are in the house or out back. We felt very secure and safe after arriving and completely enjoyed our stay. I would definitely stay again. Thanks again Sam!
