Can’t say enough good things about our stay in this lovely place. First of all, as a veteran of dozens of VRBO/AirBNB stays, this place is much more a home than a rental. The thoughtful touches are everywhere, from plenty of paper goods to well stocked linens and towels to a loaded kitchen. Secondly, the pictures don’t really convey how spacious it is. There are a lot of other rooms besides the bedrooms. Formal dining room, sitting room, eat in kitchen, office and family room. Tons of comfortable, decorated space. Think visiting friends vs staying in a hotel. That comfortable. Pool was a great respite from the beat and humidity. Lots of space for our family group to spread out and hang together.
Also, having read some of the other reviews about messy rentals occurring around Mardi Gras: this is someone’s million dollar home. Not a flop house. I don’t blame the owners one bit for carefully guarding it. Having rented in NOLA during Carnival, AirBNB-become-crashpad rentals are an owner’s worst nightmare. Good for them for enforcing the rules.
Finally, the draw for us is proximity to Tulane, St Charles streetcar and Audobon Park. But this also means you are close to student housing. Weekends can be a little noisy but that was part of the charm for us. It allowed us to walk to everything. This rental was a home run!
