First and foremost Darryl and his wife are some of the most welcoming and helpful people we have ever met. We were coming in last minute from Florida, running from a hurricane and needed a place for us plus our dog. They gladly had us in, blocked off extra dates to be safe and told us everything we needed to know about the city and our accommodations.
The area has now become our favorite part of New Orleans. You will feel safe here. Neighbors say hello when you walk down the street. Unlike other parts of the city where we may have felt nervous, never for a second did we worry here. You're within a few minutes of some great restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Try Bayou beer garden for a huge, globe light lit outdoor patio and draft/bottle list. We also loved Parkway sandwiches- best PO Boys around. If you want to do the tourist thing, you are about 13 mins away by car to Cafe Du Monde.
One of the coolest places we went to is City Park. It is a beautiful park with a botanical and sculpture garden. Very pet friendly park and only a 10 minute walk from the cottage.
The cottage itself was clean, spacious and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. They went above and beyond to make it feel as home. The fenced in yard provides a great place for pets to walk around in and the cottage is behind the house which gives you even more privacy. You don't hear traffic or noisy tourists all night long.
Simply put, this is a safe and quiet cottage that you will feel at home with. Owned by some of the nicest people you will meet and who will make sure you have a really great trip.
