We had an awesome stay at Russell’s place. The house was quaint, still had that old New Orleans charm but was updated with all the right amenities. We loved hanging out on the back patio and listening to the sounds of the neighborhood. We were even greeted with a bottle of wine upon arrival- such a charming touch! There was a black cat that lived somewhere nearby and was always hanging out in the backyard when we were outside. We gave him a name for the weekend and he was very comfortable around us- maybe he thought it was his house!
The surrounding neighborhood was hit and miss but overall we felt safe. We only walked to the coffee shop (Lamara) nearby which was amazing and had vegan fare and great coffee. Other than that we definitely Ubered around- which I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans.
