So many incredible things to say about this rental...
Let's start with LOCATION. The unit is in the stunning, tree-lined neighborhood of Bayou St. John, a short walk from hip and charming restaurants and cafes, the bayou itself, The Degas House and the art museum. And because Bayou St. John is centrally located, I found that most landmarks I wanted to hit were within a 10- to 15-minute drive.
As for the rental itself --
It's better than advertised! The space is bigger than the pictures convey. Exposed brick and cement floors make for a cool, urban vibe. And the unit comes with everything you need: washer/dryer, dishwasher, AC, easy parking etc. Jason, the host, even went the extra mile and welcomed me with fresh, local coffee beans and a bean grinder.
Best of all, even though the unit is on the lower floor of the host's home, it feels completely separate and private, especially since the front door of the unit is accessible from the street.
All of this is to say... this place is a gem! I actually already re-booked it for later this month, when I return on business. That should tell you everything you need to know.
