Jacqueline and Eamon were amazing hosts! I had originally planned to visit in august, but hurricane ida had other plans. Jacqueline was so kind to keep me informed on the storm and gave me several options for rescheduling. I ended up rescheduling for April-May which worked out even better so I could attend jazz fest!
I am a female solo traveler, so making sure I felt safe is a huge priority. This home has a private locked entrance and two additional doors that lock on the apartment itself. I also felt incredibly safe in their neighborhood walking alone. Algiers has an amazing community of families and it was so nice feeling welcomed walking around as people greet you good morning. There’s an amazing taco shop about 10min from the apartment and I must have stopped there almost daily for a limeaid to make my walk home that much more enjoyable. The walk to the ferry was beautiful taking in all the unique homes with their decorated front porches. I loved how easy it was to access the ferry and spend the day exploring the other parts of the city like the French quarter, marigny, and the garden district! It was even better to come home to a quiet and cozy space after spending the day walking around the city. Their place has everything you could possibly need including a full kitchen, large bathroom, and comfy bed. I read other reviews about bringing an eye mask because it gets bright with the sky lights, but I didn’t have any issues with it being too bright. I absolutely loved algiers and this place to call home for the month! I hope to stay again in the future. I’m even looking into moving to New Orleans after this trip because it truly felt so magical being there. Thank you again Jacqueline and Eamon!
