Terrell and Herman's home is a special, soulful, clean, organized and charming place about twenty to thirty minutes from the regions of New Orleans that visitors love most.
It is the best choice for travelers who have access to a vehicle or who choose to commute by taxi cab or Lyft/Uber from the house to all the sights we love to see in New Orleans. This is because Terrell's Home is in New Orleans East, where one might wait for buses for a long time. I recommend renting from Terrell and Herman if you will rely on vehicles, either your own vehicle, or prompt, efficient rides from others.
By the way, speaking of the buses, I waited for them on most days of my visit while I stayed with Herman and Terrell. I would take the 62-Morrison from Downman Road to Canal Street downtown. I was always safe at the bus stop and on the bus. The bus was very late once, but it always came eventually.
If you like dark, decadent decor, you will LOVE staying in the room that I rented. Herman has styled the home with his late mother always in mind, so the decor is like a Sweet Country Home that she liked, with a big helping of rich, dark color mixed in.
The back patio behind the car port is a great place for socializing. It's where you will get to know your fellow guests and perhaps your hosts. It is charming, with twinkle lights strung from here to there.
Take your adventure off the beaten path, get some fresh perspective from the typical tourist's take on things, and stay at Terrell's for a week. You will have everything that you need. Oh, by the way-- you might just get Red Beans & Rice if you're lucky!
