Dorise was very responsive prior to check in and friendly host when we met in person. Aside of being super clean, the 2-bd apartment was quite large (we were 2 but it’s comfortable for 4 or 5) and it was fully stocked with what we needed from hair dryer, to extra toiletries and a lot hangers, to board games, umbrella, and city guide books. The kitchen had various cooking tools, pots & pans, spices, tea, etc. It was also plus to have cable TV available for our use.
It’s a 8 min Uber ride and about a 15 min bus (the bus stop is 4 minute walk)to the French Quarter. The buses can be a bit inconsistent so check timetables rather than google maps. The location can feel a little unsafe due to abandoned homes and being pretty desolate around but we didn’t come across anything that felt dangerous to us. There are a few restaurants and grocery stores at 10-15min walking distance
(Eat at Melba’s, St Roch market, Who Dat Cafe) but it’s mostly residential. It’s an old home(like a lot of homes in NOLA) so you can sometimes hear people walking upstairs, but it wasn’t a big deal to us. The code entry lock did not work a couple times but Dorise repaired it right away. Everything was very clean, organized, and NOLA-style decorated :). I would stay again if I go back to NOLA.
