Harriet is obviously a seasoned host as our check-in/check-out was easily completed. We were here to drop off our daughter for her freshman year at Tulane, and being able to stay in a home rather than a hotel room was a wonderful stress reliever. The home was immaculate and well-appointed. We easily found everything we needed and were able to spread out and relax. This cottage is perfect for a family whose children might enjoy their own private space (ours do) as two of the bedrooms are upstairs and on the other side of the house from the master suite. Also perfect for two families that might want to rent this together but don't want to be right on top of each other. The neighborhood is private and quiet as there is no through street. Audubon Park is just a few steps from the front door. We enjoyed the outdoor patio with the festive string lights hanging from the porch ceiling and could definitely envision having a small gathering of friends here for a nightcap. The kitchen island would serve as the main eating area for a crowd but the formal dining room has a cozy table for 4 and there are other seating/eating areas scattered throughout the home. We were very comfortable here and though we did not use it, having a washer/dryer is certainly an added bonus if we had been here for a longer stay. The master room bed was very comfy and we are picky about that! When we got to the airport, I realized I had left a ring behind on the nightstand and so I contacted Harriet who was happy to return it to me in no time at all. This was our first experience with Airbnb and it will be hard to beat! We hope to stay here again soon and often!
