We loved our stay! Teresa’s home was warm and inviting, with plentiful snacks, water, big fluffy towels and amenities if you’ve forgotten your toothpaste or shampoo at home. Impeccably clean and cozy.
It was the perfect neighborhood for what we wanted: something away from all-night partying, but still next to lively, unique shops and food. Also very close to the streetcar line. We found a bakery (La Boulangerie) down the street that we ended up visiting for breakfast and coffee almost every day, and had to stock up before leaving. “Hidden” gems to be found at practically every step.
It can be a bit of a trek to get to the typical tourist spots at the French Quarter/Bourbon Street, but that is also its strength—I believe we were able to experience and explore way more of the city this way. Teresa’s is the best of balancing the tourist thing with the freedom of living like a local. Thank you Teresa for the hospitality!!
