What a neat hidden gem! A clean, comfy spot all to yourself. It is more spacious than you'd assume, almost shotgun style. And lucky us to be the first guests! We got brand new furniture and accessories, besides the welcome goodies April provided. It was very welcoming! The tough part was parking. The home is on a busy street with shared parking stalls that are over the sidewalk. Street parking is there but you compete with neighbors. You should be okay with one vehicle, a second gets harder, but it can be done as we had two vehicles. Just know, as it is a busy street, it is best to not leave valuables in your car, and lock up.
We stayed here a month for work related to hurricane Ida, going to damaged homes. We could easily get to the highways and neighborhoods. The Quarter is only 10 minutes away for easy access to entertainment, and food of all kinds can be found everywhere, from holes-in-the-wall, to chain restaurants, to upscale dining. There is a Win-Dixie and a Rouses for groceries about 10 minute and several streets away. Want Costco? That is 15 mins. We also found the Faubourg Brewery less than 10 mins away, with great beer, live music, food, lawn seating, games and kids activities on the weekends. We were too late for the free brewery tour, though.
Inside, the queen beds were comfortable, we got great sleep. Good storage in the sizable closets. Full size kitchen with the basics so you can cook when you feel like staying in. Washer and dryer performed well, considering how dirty we got with the work we do. Roomy bathroom, but only one, and April leaves you plenty of fluffy towels. We did not end up using the backyard, but there is a porch there. Kind of nice versus the busy front street to have a cup of coffee or glass of wine. New TV and new seating in living room was nice. There is a security alarm that is easy to use, too.
If you like a colorful neighborhood and are a bit adventurous this could be a great spot for you! Especially if you are looking for a longer stay for work or whatnot. If I end up back in NOLA, I will first check April's place for availability.
