Dwayne is a delightful host and I had a lovely, if too short, stay in his secluded carriage house. I saw that this was the second rental on his property and figured it would be a small place probably over the main rental. I was surprised to find that "#2" is the ground floor of the carriage house. I can only imagine how awesome the upstairs must be!
This studio apartment had a big comfy bed, a kitchen with a gas stove and a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, a very nice bathroom with a tub/shower, a roomy closet, couch and easy chair. Oh, and a table for two. The ceilings were so high - maybe 12 feet high?
The place was accessed via a keypad controlled heavy gate, then you walk past Dwayne's lovely home, through a courtyard lined with lush semi-tropical plants and furnished with multiple chairs and tables. When I was there it was STORMING, so I didn't spend much time there! My last day it was sunny and lovely, but sadly I had to go.
I was in New Orleans for the AAP National Convention, which was maybe 3/4 of a mile away, walking. It was a bit of a dodgy walk so if you're not cool with telling homeless dudes you don't have any cash on you, arranging a ride might be the way to go. That said, I walked everywhere and I was fine. I had a great meal at Toups South (sit at the chef's bar and watch them cook).
All in all, I can highly recommend staying with Dwayne, at either of his rentals. He's right there and eager to get you anything you need. He will take good care of you!
