My cat Piggy and I had a wonderful stay in Cheryl's immaculate, quirky, charming place. The minute you step in the door, it screams "New Orleans" through the decor, wall colors, and music. The kitchen was the best stocked I've ever seen, providing bottled water, Coca-Cola, orange juice, pineapple juice, V8, eggs, bacon, coffee, and granola bars. There was also beer, wine, and malt beverages which I suspect were left by previous tenants. One cabinet had nothing but dog bowls in it, so no need to bring your own. Toiletries and dog poop bags were also provided in the bathroom. Temperature control was easy with the window heat/air conditioners and the space heaters. Cable channels were plentiful. The neighborhood, while a bit run down in places, seemed safe, and I parked my car in a gravel off street area right next to the property (although be warned, flocks of birds fly overhead and leave deposits). The washer and dryer worked well and were easily accessible in the back. Cheryl herself was a wonderful and prompt communicator, and I got to meet her friendly dogs and cat. I had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to stay again.
While Cheryl's neighborhood is not recycling yet, if you recycle and/or compost, there is a great drop off point for both in the city: Pelican Gardens, 300 Wagner St., 70114.
