So much more than advertised...this hidden gem in the Treme neighborhood truly felt like home away from home. The house perfectly accommodated our multi-generational family of 9 ranging from ages 14 to 73.
Older reviews were accurate in their description of the home, its beauty, the amenities, transportation, proximity to sights, and hospitality of the host. So let me take a moment to describe a few of my favorite moments created in the house during our stay:
-Cool, quiet, lazy mornings on the front porch swing with my mom, enjoying the symphony of wind chimes, rustling leaves, water sprinklers, and cat meows as the Treme neighborhood slowly stirred from its slumber.
-The smell of fresh brewed coffee, the sound of clankering of pots and pans busily preparing breakfast, and groggy yawns and heavy footstep descending the stairs with a curiousity of what adventures our day would hold.
-Splashes and laughter from the backyard pool and the occasional snore from the chaise lounge.
-Watching my father listen to my brother impart a life lesson to his own son and seeing the admiration in his face.
-Enjoying a poolside evening with our host as she shares history of the neighborbood, the wonderful people that have stayed in the house before us, and stories of her life, family, and work.
For that brief period, we were more than visitors...we felt like part of the neighborhood; neighbors that walked away with new friends!!
I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a space with character and soul!!! Thank you Lore for an amazing stay, and for your kindness and generosity!!!
