What a beautiful place. Pristine condition. Immaculately clean! The open concept layout and huge windows to let in light were just perfect. The unit is on the second floor of a bigger house, I’m assuming which holds other private units either for guests or just for the owners, although I didn’t see anyone else during my stay.
Walk through the front door and directly up the flight of stairs and there’s the unit. A little hard if you have a huge heavy bag like I did, but I made do. When I checked in, the house was decorated with Xmas lights which was SO welcoming. What a lovely surprise. Walked through the front door to the home and you’re in a foyer, but you can tell it’s part of the house and a living room next to it. At first I was a little confused. I’m guessing the owners live on the first floor, but not sure. I heard someone cooking a few times when I walked in, but never saw anyone. It’s completely quiet upstairs where the actual unit is. But I must mention the music both downstairs and in the unit. Totally loved the fact that they always had music playing downstairs as sort of a welcoming thing when you walked in. Even in the unit, a stereo was playing the local radio station’s awesome Nola tunes. I️t bring life to a space that I just love.
The bedroom is tiny but peaceful and perfect. Bed was comfy. In the morning the neighbors dogs would bark a lot when they were outside, but I️t didn’t bother me much. Even worth not mentioning because the space is fabulous otherwise. The huge balcony with seating was great too! And my favorite thing, and the main reason I booked this unit- THE BATHROOM AND THAT TUB!! Y’all. This tub. I could live in there. Even could see a little bit of the city at night through the windows in the bathroom.
So many luxury touches here. Soft-close cabinets and drawers. Rain shower. Lots of tips and recommendations included. I’m from the area, and theres always been a stigma with the Treme not being safe, but I didn’t necessarily feel that here. I felt safe in this house. I didn’t walk around the neighborhood, but it seemed like any other part of nola. Nola in general is dangerous a lot of times. Just be aware and pay attention. I SO enjoyed my stay here. Thank you!!
