The hosts have done a great job of restoring and updating a piece of history. We enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, the hosts were nearly instant communication, everything was as they stated it would be, no surprises.
The neighborhood is like so many in the area, up and coming. Look left, everything is new, to the right, not so new but maintained. We truly enjoyed our stay here and recommend it to anyone looking for a good option. Papa Johns is right around the corner for the quick pizza fix!
For those traveling with kids to NOLA, some tips we learned.
1. NOLA, French Quarter is not so fun for little kids, we were there for about 20 minutes and the sights, smells, and noise were enough for them. So have a plan.
2. Parking (Spothero): use this app or one like it, you'll save a bundle! "Spothero" Tell it where you want to go and when, the app will find an affordable option easy peasy!
3. Audubon Aquarium and Zoo: If you're visitng any length of time, get a membership, it's worth it! Aquarium is awesome, indoors and cool temp! The zoo is beautiful and in the summer, they have a waterpark you can play in, amongst the animals!
4. Audubon Park: Outside the zoo, big, beautiful, several playgrounds, loads of trees! Also, if you contact them early, you can schedule a horse ride with the stables there.
5. City Park: Another gigantic park, loads of trees and things to do/see
6. Louisiana Children's Museum: Located at City Park. Not super big but a good reprieve from the hot days, and plenty of fun for little ones. Lots of hands on play for all!
7. Cafe Du Mond: NOLA Hack, there's on in City Park, no long lines like downtown.
8. Mini Golf: Located at City Park.
9. Storyland/Amusement park: Located at City Park. This was closed but looked like fun once COVID lifts!
10. USS KIDD: Go to Baton Rouge, if you like history and big ships, this is a great tour!
11. LSU: Go to Baton Rouge, if you're traveling with kids, it's good to show them schools like this!
12. Causeway Bridge: The longest continuous overwater bridge in the world. Drive it! The kids will love it and it's cool to see/experience a world record item firsthand, and it's right there!
Bottom line, if you land in New Orleans with kids, and freak out cause there doesn't seem to be that much to do, there is, just have to peel back the onion a little.
