First off, I must say that this place was much much larger than the pictures indicated. At least twice as big. When you walk in, you are greeted by a colorful and spacious living room with a large couch, a vintage, leather chair, a writing desk, and a large screen wall-mounted TV. Large windows allow lovely natural light to spill in and complete the room.
In the next room is a well equipped kitchen with a large stainless steel fridge and dishwasher. There is also a spacious table with four, fun, funky, and colorful stools that await you. Along the back wall is an impressive stove, and lots of cabinets and storage space stocked with basic cooking necessities, spices, and everything you need to feel right at home. Perhaps most impressive are the wood block counter tops. I would love to have my own kitchen look so lovely and top notch.
Moving into the bedroom you find a comfy bed with colorful, blue-stripped comforter and coordinating pillows. I couldn't wait to plop myself down on and get comfortable. The bed is flanked by two nightstands with lamps. Off to the right is a chair and across the way is an ample closet complete with a luggage stand for your convenience. In this room you will find the controls for central air and a high ceiling fan to keep you comfortable at all times.
At the back of the house is a roomy bathroom decked out in black and white tile. It sports a large bathtub / shower combo with cool hardware. The water pressure was just right and the water temperature was perfect.
The outside of the home is cute as can be, and the location is ideal. It is walking distance to restaurants, a grocery store, cafes, shopping, and more. Ten minutes or so will land you on the popular Frenchmen St. which features a ton of music clubs, a park, some restaurants, and more. Just across the street is the famed French Quarter and everything it has to offer. Like I said, the distance is walkable but if you want to take a cab ride, the cost is about $10 including tip.
I had a wonderful trip overall, definitely in part to Earl, one of the property's hosts. He greeted me with a smile and true southern hospitality even though I arrived after midnight. He took great care to show me all of the amenities of the property and to make me feel like a special guest of the city. Anytime I needed anything, he was there to answer questions and give me tips. Earl made me feel welcome and I will look forward to seeing him again next time I come.
Thanks again! I can't wait to return.
