Keith's place was a nice choice for me and my husbear Paul over Southern Decadence weekend in New Orleans. We actually received a room upgrade to the Master Suite upstairs and appreciated the surprise. Our trip was for both, a birthday and honeymoon celebrations and having direct access to the kitchen, a private bathroom suite and balcony made our experience all the more glamorous!
The street parking was easy and free compared to the competitiveness and expensiveness of the French Quarter. Entry was a breeze with the keypad and common areas were clean, open with tall ceilings and had a good flow from room to room. The kitchen is located upstairs as well as the patio/deck that overlooks the street. The kitchen, appliances, fixtures and bathrooms were all updated and clean which is always nice and inviting. Keiths home overall is recently renovated, located in a quiet, urban, transitioning neighborhood that feels safe, inclusive and is being revitalized.
The proximity to the FQ is not too far or bad on an hot Summer or rainy day in August/September. A Uber/Lyft car service will have you there in less than 10 minutes but we didn't mind the 20 minute or so walk to and from the FQ. The neighborhood has flavor and culture that is a different experience from the inside of a car through a window. You'll encounter and hear street musicians, pass by public art, historical architecture, parks, churches, schools and mom and pop businesses that have unique offerings and other things you'll notice along your walks each time. We easily walked to and from the home multiple times per day for a break from the wildness of the FQ. We never felt any more harm or safety concerns on our short walk to and from Keiths place than we do in our own city or other cities that we travel to. Being able to drive to locations outside the FQ were also a breeze and feel like we didn't sacrifice any of our experiences because of the expense of parking in/around the French Quarter. We'd definitely recommend this home to anyone else looking for an updated space located near the French Quarter.
