I stayed for a month at Laurel House. The location is great, within walking distance of Magazine, St. Charles, streetcars, and grocery. Direct streetcar access to the French Quarter, downtown, the WWII museum and Audubon.
Matt communicated well to arrange for clean linens, which I appreciated since my unit didn’t have laundry. Check in/check out was easy. Cleaning supplies and recycling available. Excellent a/c and heat units. Keep in mind is that shotgun homes have very thin walls and floors. You hear everything like footsteps, dogs, conversations, TVs, which means if your host or their neighbor is up until 2 a.m., so are you. I think one of their neighbors smokes because on occasion I could smell it. But if you’re out most of the time it won’t matter.
Overall, the location is great. The full kitchen (coffee amenities included), streaming service access (a couple you need to log into your own account), internet, and shotgun charm all offer a comfortable stay in the Irish Channel.
