There’s a old and well-known saying when it comes to real estate…“location, location, location”. With this place, that’s exactly what you get - an IDEAL location. So let’s start there…
Nestled between two New Orleans staples (3 short-sided blocks from the French Quarter in one direction & 3 short-sided blocks from Frenchmen St. in the other), the location was amazing. Being literally just outside both these areas definitely means it’s quieter, but the street still retains the charm (ie. gas-lamps, colorful paint schemes, unique home designs) New Orleans is known for. Now I’m certainly not saying there won’t be people with volume-control issues stumbling down the street at 2am, but it definitely didn’t feel as common as in the heart of the French Quarter. (Bonus - there’s also a small park located 2 blocks away as you walk towards the French Quarter that our 3 young daughter’s loved.)
As far as the place itself, it was nice. The master bedroom is located in the front of the house - so be prepared to hear a little street noise. (NOTE: The upstairs neighbors also apparently wear concrete shoes and like to dance directly above the master bedroom between 12-4am.) That said, the back bedroom adjoins the private backyard courtyard and our daughters slept soundly there. (PS. Make sure to spend at least 1 night outback with a cigar, some wine, and jazz music!)
As far as Lee & Luis, they were extremely responsive. We reached out to them after the first night to let them know the hairdryer was broken (a big deal when you’re traveling with 4 girls) and a new one was delivered within the hour!
I would definitely stay there again…
