We had a great time in Sam’s house in NOLA over Christmas. The pool is amazing and was super super warm, perfect for the kids! The house is very nice, with very comfortable beds. We had a lot of stuff as we were a large multi family group that included a toddler and an infant, and they need a lot of stuff. I would have liked the living room to have a bit more space for this reason but that is just minor and I would definitely rent this place again. To get to the backyard you need to walk through one of the bedrooms which is not ideal but didn’t bother us too much. We also used the outdoor grill and great backyard furniture. The area is transitional, but it is an easy walk to the street car, and it was easy to park the car. House is centrally located- and has a pool- what more can you ask for. There is a great restaurant next door and a wonderful coffee shop around the corner. Overall we had a great time and hope to be back! Sam is a wonderful host.
