Sarah's place is just as lovely as you'd expect from viewing the photos, with the addition of some cool pieces of art. It has all the amenities you'd need for a long term stay, and if you need groceries, there's a Whole Foods or Robert Fresh not far away. The location cannot be beat. If you're looking for something that is away from the bustle of Bourbon Street, but still a short walk away, you've found your place. It's also not a far drive from any points of interest on Freret, Magazine, or St. Charles streets. There are also plenty of neighborhood restaurant (Budsi's, Dat Dog, Ruby Slipper, Horn's etc.) and bar options around if you don't have a car. If you do have a car, do yourself a favor and head to the Bywater and check out bakeries, restaurants (N7, Bacchanal, or Red’s Chinese) and coffee shops.
If you're thinking of a long term stay, but still on the clock, I was able to work remotely from here comfortably with no WiFi issues. As for street parking, it is residential from 7a-7p, but the zoning ends a few blocks east on Elysian Fields, which is a short walk away. Grab a cup of coffee at Baldwin & Co while you're over there. If you feel more comfortable using a long term parking lot, there's a Premium Parking on N. Rampart under a 10 min walk away (or free street parking if you're lucky).
Sarah was kind enough to allow my little (under 15 lbs) dog stay with me as well. I never felt unsafe walking her around the neighborhood. In fact, a majority of people around here are very friendly and I've chatted with other dog owners while out in the mornings and evenings.
Overall, it feels like a home away from home. I would definitely recommend staying in Sarah's cute little shotgun cottage if you'd like to pretend to live like a local.
