Lori was the most hospitable and kind host we have ever had!!! She was extremely accommodating and genuine, greeted us with a warm smile, and had great recommendations for sight seeing and restaurants. She was always available if we had any questions. ***We arrived at the beginning of the Corona Virus (Covid19) outbreak and she worked so hard to make sure the room was clean/disinfected and supplied us with lots of toilet paper, lysol, and cleaning products even though these items were sold out EVERYWHERE. This really touched us and it is because of Lori's selflessness that the virus didn't ruin our long anticipated vacation.***
You *must* go to 'Superior Seafood' (just a few blocks away) for happy hour--75 cent gulf oysters and $4 house wines! It was DELICIOUS...the oysters...so sweet! Lori also recommended 'Audubon Park' a few street-car stops away! Don't forget about po' boys at Domilise's, Hansen's sno bliz, the Creole Creamery (must try: lavender honey, Mexican hot chocolate, and thai basil coconut), Tal's hummus on Magazine street (such fresh falafel), shrimp po' boys at 'Zara's' (the local grocery store)...gosh the list goes on!! So much great, diverse food and culture all around!
The location was perfect for me and my girlfriend and was a short street-car trip away from the French Quarter. We absolutely adored the trolley rides and did not have to take any Uber/Lyfts!! From the flora, architecture, and enchanting street-car, the neighborhood was gorgeous! The streets--lined with jumbo leaves, loquat trees, oak trees with hanging tendrils of Spanish moss..oh my!...it was blissful!!
Thank you, Lori, for sharing your wonderful, charming place. We made amazing memories and will be sure to come to NOLA again!!
