We are so deeply grateful that we stayed with Sandra and Evert, and got the chance to have lunch and get to know them more! What beautiful, deeply considerate and warm beings, who thought of absolutely everything to help make our stay both comfortable and easy.
Sandra had even provided us an extra fridge, helped us with our washing, and even would put out cushions in the garden chairs when it was beautiful and sunny.
We navigated around Nola like a local, using buses and street car, which was only a few blocks from their house, but walking through the city was so easy and we enjoyed meandering the neighborhoods and just watching normal Nola life- Louisiana pace!
We stay for 10 days and felt we were able to see almost all of Nola, with ease and great enjoyment. Sandra had provided so much GOLD, with info on her recommended bars/restaurants, things to do and maps of all the different neighborhoods. She had brochures of all tours and key sights, and even more recommendations when we met in person! Sandra knows Nola and everything that’s going on, so we always had something to do that felt more local rather than mainstream tourism. Like the French film festival at Prytania Threatre (street car away) book festival at the universality near by, or music gigs locally too.
Talented, funny and so authentic, Sandra and Evert, really made our stay and trip- remarkable, abs feel like home in many ways. We really couldn’t thank you more.
It was quite sad to leave in the end, as they sent us off waving from their patio, but we shall we back (with the kids) to beware!!!
