Kathryn and John are wonderful hosts. They were responsive, friendly, helpful, and always available. The house is beautiful, and very comfy. You really will feel like you are home when you are there. Kathryn left a sweet note and bottle of wine in the fridge for us which was kind and thoughtful when we arrived. It was a perfect place for us to stay during Mardi Gras. We checked into a hotel for 3 nights to be closer to the action after our time there, and we were bummed out that we did. We really missed being at the house, and in their neighborhood.
The house is in a super cool neighborhood that is being gentrified. There are all sorts of fun locals that are friendly, and were helpful in pointing us to where we wanted to go. It is a shortish/ medium walk to get to places, but that is part of the fun of being in NOLA. UBER will pick you up in Minutes as well. One of our UBER drivers told us that he grew up right next to Kathryn and John's house...small world.
You will adore it.
