The place was just as described. Louis and U-P were great hosts. They are super-friendly and were very responsive to our every need. We loved the snacks they had for us!

The place has a full kitchen with everything you need: Plates, cups, bowls, coffee/tea machine with the coffee and tea by the side. The grocery stores nearby can save you money and give you some healthier alternatives -especially if the southern cuisine you'll find in restaurants starts to taste too fatty to those that are not used to it (despite the fact that it's dangerously delicious :) ) For example you can buy ready-made salads at Win Dixie or throw frozen food like pizza in the oven and have a quick meal instead of eating out everyday. We discovered Mandina's Cafe & Grocery Store on our last day, which is a great Middle-Eastern restaurant chain in New Orleans with an attached grocery store. So many yummy things there!

We had a minor challenge getting into the house for the first time using the Kevo Digital Lock because it requires data connection on your phone. Because we are coming from outside the U.S. that meant having to turn on our Data Roaming briefly. But after that it was OK as when we got to the door, our phones quickly picked up the Wi-Fi.

The Wi-Fi at home works great, which is important for international travelers who don't have roaming internet on their phones to find local restaurant info, etc.

Easy access to the streetcar was great. You can buy day-passes from the nearby Walgreens ($3). You can buy day passes or a one-time pass ($1.25) from the streetcar conductor also, but note that you will need EXACT cash -otherwise you won't get your change back!

Just to set the expectation for all travelers: The water pressure in the shower is not so great. It's not a big deal and it does the job. Maybe it's common in New Orleans, I'm not sure. And there's not much the hosts can do about it. But everything else in the bathroom was fine, the towels, the hairdryer, etc. There was even toothbrush and toothpaste hidden behind the mirror :) When we could not find shampoo and sent a quick message to Louis, he ensured it was waiting for us in our mailbox within the same day!

Thank you Louis & U-P for helping us make our trip to New Orleans even more enjoyable! Recommended!
