30 day stay. Location, location, location. If you are looking for a place in a quiet pretty pastel-colored gingerbread-rich neighborhood that is walking distance to all that NOLA has to offer, then this is it. It is an old place with quirks, just as described. The chandelier in the front room is incredible red Murano glass and is stunning at night. Period furnishings, claw foot bathtub, and some peeling paint. Great funky NOLA art is throughout. Feels like a NOLA house, not some sterile rehab.
Just one bedroom, this is a place for a couple that gets along. Entrance is inside a locked shared foyer with owners upstairs. Your door inside unlocks to a nice front sitting room with sofa, chair, and a little work table against front privacy-curtained window. A bedroom is the middle room, off of it is a decent sized bathroom containing the only wardrobe. A regular sized galley kitchen with table for three in is the back. A locked back door leads to a small private deck, where we frequently ate lunch under the trees in the shade. We also stored our bikes back there, out of sight from the road and behind a locked gate down the alley from the front sidewalk. The laundry is also on the deck in a little shed, full-sized and worked fine (shared with owner, but they only used it one night a week and texted to coordinate).
About a 15 minute walk to excellent Crescent park along the river; they have swings where we frequently read and watched the ships go by. About 20 minute walk to Bourbon Street or the French Market, the touristy area. This neighborhood seems to be mostly owner occupied; with either a cafe, local bar, bakery, or breakfast spot on every other block. Very walkable, very friendly, uncrowded., very bikable. The neighborhood food market prices were high, but for a quick pickup it was fine. CostCo is about a 15 minute drive and has alcohol. We didn't go out after dark much, so can't comment but wouldn't recommend walking late night alone (goes for anywhere in NOLA).
Owner lives upstairs and was very quiet and didn't bother you. About the only noise we heard (30 day rental) from above were cats occasionally chasing each other. There is some occasional city street traffic, but street isn't very long and is slanted from the others so it isn't a through street. In 30 days we got parking right in front every time but three. And those times it was just across the street or a spot in front or behind the front door. The condition of roads are horrendous throughout the whole city, especially in the neighborhoods. That cuts down on cut-through traffic and no one drives fast. A friendly person early on warned us not to ride our bikes through puddles because you never knew how deep they were.
We had a blast, it was just as described (that is right, no TV!). We walked/biked everywhere during the day and returned to cook dinner most nights. Some days we biked the wonderful paved levee trails in and around the city. City Park is about a 15 minute drive and is fabulous. This AirBNB is small, but the three rooms are decent sized and worked easily for us. WI-FI was never an issue. We were there in early spring so we used both heating and A/C a few times and they were sufficient, plenty of hot water. Heavy pots & pans, plus a big bonus for us was Fiestaware dishes (just like home).
