Treme-ndous stay!
Thanks Barrett for a great time at your apartment. Check-in was a little tricky but we got there in the end. I was a solo female traveler and once I got into the property it suited me down to the ground.
I’d be loathed to share this apartment with anyone else. It’s perfect for one person or for two loved up people.
The decor is pretty funky, I liked it although the colours popped more on the photos.
I settled in pretty quickly and it felt like home after two days.
The bed is comfortable, I slept well every one of my seven nights. The shower is terrific. The fridge freezer is huge and the hob and microwave were easy to use.
Everywhere is clean and ordered.
The fish tank is noisy but with the bedroom door closed I didn’t hear it.
Being bang opposite the Interstate was an eye opener but within a couple days I was used to it.
And again, with the bedroom door shut I didn’t hear it.
Anyone sleeping in the sitting room would need earplugs or be a heavy sleeper.
The very best thing about this apartment apart from the interior is the location.
It’s close to everything good and it felt good being in an actual neighborhood rather than in a tourist trap.
I mooched into the French Quarter, Marigny and the Garden District without even trying. It was dead easy to go anywhere and get back home.
The interstate is imposing but it’s part of the neighborhood so whatchagonnado?
Bitching on about it isn’t going to help any and it was literally 1% of my entire experience there.
The interstate is not going anywhere and if it’s good enough for the folk of Treme, who would probably prefer it wasn’t there either, then it’s good enough for me.
Wholefoods is a 22 min walk away, so I got to stock up on some essentials and see some of the neighbourhood. Everyone was pretty friendly on my way there and back. You don’t get that in London!
Ital-Garden is A-mazing food (yeah it’s vegan or it’s just good food). And just across the street too
Soulfood was OK, about 20 mins walk away. Another chance to explore the neighborhood.
Kermit Ruffins Mother-in-Law’s Lounge was good too, I watched some of the Sunday football (Saints v Bengals) and Kermit was there too. This place is across the street also.
As a first timer in Nawlins I couldn’t have picked a better apartment in a better location. Thanks Barrett I’ll be back!
