This place was great. If you aren't familiar with New Orleans houses, they're usually over 100 years old and can be nearly impossible to maintain. This place is in fantastic shape, everything was very clean, and the hosts were super nice and responsive. We especially loved the floor color choice, how soft the lounge area rug was, and the spotlight lamp. We stayed during the cold snap and had no trouble keeping warm. I hope the plants out front made it through!
The location was very convenient. Most of uptown is far from the interstate and can really inflate travel times, but this place is right by both the Earhart Expressway (for quick Metairie trips) and I-10 ramps (for everywhere else). If you're going the no-car route, the streetcar line is only a block away and I'm pretty sure cabs do a flat rate to and from the airport.
Oh, and my son loved the Xmas lights! I asked which lights on the block were his favorite and he picked y'all's because "They were the most colorful!"
