We really enjoyed our visit to NOLA and much of that had to do with the location of this cute spot. I am disabled and walking is not always the easiest so being located 5 minutes from french quarters was perfect.
About the house... The owners were extremely flexible with this booking. Great cancellation policy (always a plus given my disability) and outside a brief summary about my guests, there was no hassle to prepare for our visit.
The house was nicely decorated and clean. We had more than enough towels, ice, cleaning aids, and space for a group of 4. It was extremely convenient. We requested a late checkout last minute and the in-town host was great about it.
Other great amenities include:
- 2 great bars within a couple blocks. We went to “The John” which was great.Its a small little dive bar which seems to attract urban patrons. It was nice to walk in a dive bar and actually see people of color like me.
- Willies chicken shack is like an 8 min walk and they have food until 1am. Along the route, we ran into several other food options.
- The location on The specific street was great as it made Ubers and Lyfts really easy to get in and out without too much traffic from being so close to the french quarters.
The one downside...
There are a decent amount of stairs leading up to the unit... If stairs are a problem, it’s probably not the place for you. Also, not ideal for a person traveling with mobility scooter or other bulky ada devices.
I would definitely stay here again. I am a little sad that they aren’t available for Essence Fest.
