NOLA
My family wanted to celebrate Christmas with a needed impromptu trip with charm and tradition. New Orleans fit the mold. So we packed up a quick bag, included our puppy and headed down I-10.
It was night time when we first drove up and parked. We found a spot right in front of the location. We were not too familiar with duplexes and accidentally entered the place next to what we rented, the wrong location. This place was not the same as pictured. This alarmed my whole family. We did not note the house number just above the house. I contacted the owner and got an immediate response. She corrected the problem and let us know she had come to the house earlier that day, put the heat on and decorated for the holiday. This was a sweet touch. I was pleasantly surprised that the warm glow I saw coming from the neighbor spot was our actual place! I was relieved!
We entered the correct spot, and it did not disappoint. With the exception of the couch color (it’s a deep purple, not white), the rest of the house is exactly true to the pictures. It’s a beautiful mix of thoughtful vintage and modern New Orleans traditional charm.
Talking to the owner, gave me a chance to get an introduction to the house, one I needed because despite reading the reviews, I still had questions. The verbal owner’s verbal manual cleared up my questions. I had the best time during our stay and would not hesitate to come back to visit again.
