Just spent nearly a week with my family and dog at this home off Freret. The location was great... walking distance to local restaurants, the St. Charles trolley, Tulane and Loyola, and a quick easy drive to other parts of town like the Bywater and French Quarter. Though the home was literally a half block from Freret, the noise never spilled over at night. And another half block away was a park perfect for running the dog (with a basketball court and space for younger kids to play).
The house itself was full of charm... older and quirky, so don't expect new construction perfection, but with quality furniture, a well-stocked kitchen with every type of appliance you could ask for, clean crisp linens and a plethora of soft fluffy towels. Kris provided plenty of quality cleaning and paper products, basic coffee supplies, and a decent selection of oils and spices for cooking. The small back yard had a patch of grass, a lovely small pool and lots of deck furniture perfect for kicking back after a day of sightseeing while the kids splash. In front is a cute covered front porch perfect for a glass of wine while watching the neighborhood go about their evening.
Kris was responsive and friendly when needed but otherwise gave us our privacy.
Overall, I would rate this an exceptional rental, perfect for anyone not needing or wanting to be in the center of the French Quarter.
Pros: Very clean, well decorated and appointed, great location convenient to everything, place is exactly as presented. Safe neighborhood. Unobtrusive but responsive hosts.
Cons: Street parking was sometimes a hassle. Though the beds were mostly comfortable, the one we chose unfortunately taco-ed a bit with two people in it (I switched beds and was extremely comfortable).
