Jay is a gracious host who has made great efforts to provide all that is needed for his guests to be comfortable, from a fully equipped kitchen to big screen TV in the common area. He also provided coffee, tea and drinking water.
The neighborhood is fine, but major road works made it a bit difficult to find, and some of the surrounding neighborhoods are not as safe. If road work continues, be sure you do a better job than we did of checking directions beforehand. I think the confusing thing is that some of the streets keep changing names and/or merging into one another. We should note that Jay was very accommodating when we arrived much later than anticipated after we made several phone calls to clarify directions!
It is an old-ish New Orleans house, a bit funky and slanted but kept very clean, and we appreciated the whole bath plus half bath in the guest area, which is the whole of the downstairs. (This is not common in older New Orleans houses.) I believe there are three guest rooms but not certain of this. We enjoyed the bright colors. Our room was large, and the bed was comfortable. Beware of the rugs, which curl at the edges; perhaps these could be secured.
Having lived in New Orleans in the past, we didn’t need much guidance, but Jay kindly offered to provide recommendations. He was very responsive during the booking process as well.
