This is our second stay in Gentilly,, last time we stayed here it was in the winter. The studio is in a converted garage at the rear of property and although it isn’t insulated as well as a house the portable AC unit and oscillating fan make the temperature comfortable. (FYI - We stayed in June when the outside temps were in the 90s). The studio is located very close to Mirabeau/Paris Ave tucked away down a service drive in a very private area with a fence to secure your pet and car. It is a quiet area and only a short walk to a terrific bakery (Adrian’s) and a grocery (Sav-a-Lot) in case you forgot any toiletries or need a snack. The internet worked well and the compact space includes a comfortable bed/pillows. The shower has plenty of hot water and great water pressure. This is a good place for two people to explore the City from as it is super close to many things of interest for tourists (close to the FQ, the NO Museum of Art/City Park, and all the wonderful restaurants in Mid-City and the Lakefront area).
We recommend:
Station 6 or Neyow for higher end seafood
Pra-Lees for down home most friend (but tasty) seafood
Toast for breakfast or lunch
Pontilly for coffee
Fiorella’s in Gentilly for southern (especially known for their chicken)
McHardy’s for excellent fried chicken and sides (only a take-away place… but have a picnic in City Park!) BEWArE they close early, like 4 or 5pm early :/
