We loved our stay at Derek’s house in the Lower Garden District. It was the perfect location, could easily drive from here all around New Orleans and close to two Hop On Hop Off stops. Preferred being in a quieter, safer area than downtown and was great for walking my dog in the morning. Also, parking was so easy!
I noticed some people mentioned the noise, and it’s true that some nights after I had gone to bed around 10:30pm I would hear them having conversations with their dog. (Mom said with the fan running she couldn’t hear anything.) Since they live above, there are times you can hear walking or talking. But I didn’t find it that bothersome, certainly doesn’t change my overall review that it was a nice, clean, spacious, perfectly located place to stay and we would definitely stay again!
Also appreciated the hosts being very available and receptive to our needs! We had a cute lizard get in (there are many small lizards in the neighborhoods in New Orleans) and they were kind enough to come grab it and take it out for us! Also replaced the oven while we were there because a previous guest mentioned that it wasn’t heating well so good to know they address issues raised by previous guest to maintain a great experience!
Also, my mattress was really comfortable which was a huge plus.
