This is a perfect little pied a terre in NOLA for couples or singles.
Location: Irish Channel/Uptown. The house is located a short walk (4 blocks) from Magazine Street, a lively strip with bars, restaurants and cute shops. Lots of fun! We loved making believe we lived in NOLA, there was a great neighborhood feel to the area. Very quiet at night, nice area, an urban residential area.
Transportation: Another quick walk gets you to the streetcar line on St. Charles ($15 RTA pass for 5 days, a bargain) which takes you RIGHT to the French Quarter or the WW II museum. An airport bus line is nearby for public transit fans like us (the E-2 to the 27 and then a 5 minute walk from the airport) .
The space: The Air BnB space we stayed in is a coachhouse in the back. Single women traveling, this is a secure place to stay, it is very private and safe. A cute, private little 1 BR apartment, spotlessly clean and well appointed. Double bed with spotless white sheets and lots of pillows, and a nice closet. A small kitchenette with a sink, toaster oven, hot plate and coffeemaker. A comfortable couch in the living area for catching up on the news on TV. A dining table if you wish to dine in. The bathroom has a nice shower with shampoo/bodywash and clean towels. PERFECT.
The piece de resistance - THE HOT TUB. Dominique’s home is in the front house, and his hot tub is on the back deck. We sat in that tub every night and soaked our tired feet after exploring NOLA all day, it was a beautiful amenity to come home to, also spotlessly clean.
Dominique, your host: A fabulous, interesting man - what a gentleman. And he’s a chef! More on that below. Very helpful, friendly and welcoming. We have a new friend in NOLA!
EXTRAS! We had a wonderful seafood / cocktail / wine dinner with Dominique! This is an extra, separate from our Air BnB charge - and highly recommended, contact Dominique for the details and your custom menu for this.
An incredible value, great place to stay - I will not hesitate to recommend this space to all my friends, and come here whenever I’m in NOLA.
