LOVED this house! The layout was awesome. Historic quality we were seeking, totally there. Phenomenal porch for morning coffee. House is SO conveniently located (a few great disc golf courses not too far away)...steps to the trolley (to city park/cemeteries and Bourbon street). A lot of AMAZING restaurants within walking distance (Katie's from Diners, Drive-ins and Dives; as well as Juan's flying Burrito...HIGHLY recommend...ooooOo and Ruby Slipper...SOOOOO MUCH FOOD!)
We rented the last week of January (for a B-day NOLA celebration) and the downfall was ... it was COLD; however that is to be expected anywhere North of the Equator during this time of year. House was a little drafty...but there were TONS of blankies and the beds are legit cozy.
Only downside: I was PUMPED about a nice bath in the claw foot tub, but it was clear that the homes renovation was fairly recent, as the tub had a lot of paint blobs and was generally not useable for a relaxing bath.
All in all...DO IT! Great neighborhood, great shotgun home, great owners...NOLA!!
