Leah’s place was amazing! It had history and it was very New Orleans. It was very clean and polished. You can see all the work that went into bringing the space together. Leah herself was extremely kind, accommodating and helpful. She was always a text away and her responses were very quick.
What I didn’t enjoy -
Location was decent for the price but for the same price I would’ve been able stay at a decent hotel right at the center of all the action. But again, you wouldn’t get Leah service there. Her tips, restaurant reccs etc. To give you an idea, yes you would get to French Quarter boarder in 15mins but it would take at least 25mins to get to the real attractions. One thing to keep in mind while considering price is - You need an Uber on your way back home - you cannot walk bc of safety reasons. This neighborhood itself felt safe but the walk over isn’t. (With tip uber would be $10 from FQ). On side note - people around here were very very sweet. They would be happy to stop and have a conversation with you.
Tips-
1. Make sure to carry toiletries (towels are provided)
2. Get water. You have coffee maker for coffee so no worries there. You will can find water to buy at the seafood place down the road.
3. The house is very fragile. If you walk strongly, things would move around - just something to keep in mind.
4. It’s centrally air conditioned space. You cannot control the temperature. I was hot the second night but it wasn’t too bad.
5. Bed is really flimsy. It moves around a little bit if you move a lot in your sleep - you might have hard time falling asleep.
All in all, it worked out for me bc Leah was extremely helpful and kind and space itself was nice and cozy for two nights.
