My daughter went to Tulane and I found Kristen and her place the year we moved her in. Every year (sometimes more than once) when we would come out we stayed here. It’s been 4 years now and she just graduated
This is quintessential NOLA to me. Right of St. Charles, smack dab in the middle of town between everything. A block from the trolley and a couple miles from just about everything.
The place is small, but has most of what you need. Kristen makes you feel welcome. Whether it’s the cutest little garden area right outside your door, or the local jazz station she leaves on for you upon your arrival. Snacks and a few cold beverages await you as well.
Most of NOLA is in need of repairs after devastating hurricane Katrina and others since then and this place is no exception. Some of the floor is soft. Water pressure could be stronger. But I didn’t stay here for 4 years because of water pressure. I stayed because this felt like New Orleans to me. Authentic and pure.
If you’re solo or a couple and want the experience of the big easy, try this.
