Kelly was a terrific host! She communicated everything we needed to know, and checking in and out was a breeze. The house is cute and very clean. It's also equipped with anything you could need, including a hair dryer! (I loved the shampoo/conditioner/shower gel dispensers in the shower - what a great idea!) The master bed was super comfortable. My friend slept on the double in the second bedroom and she said it was OK but a little hard. The futon in the living room wasn't doable because, as is typical for futon and sleepers, it had an uncomfortable bar running down the middle.
The neighborhood (Treme) from what we could tell was very nice, and everyone we encountered was friendly. We'd heard previously that it could be sketchy at night, but I did sit out on the front steps one night and it seemed pretty quiet and peaceful. The only minor drawback to the neighborhood is that you need to take an Uber to go to the French Quarter, especially at night, as it's a bit of a hike. Still, Uber rides were usually only between $8 - $15, so it's worth it to avoid the outrageous hotel prices in the Quarter. Plus, all of the Uber drivers we met were awesome and had some great stories to tell!
Kind of a random thing I have to mention -- if you're an animal lover, you're in luck because the next door neighbors have two cats that are adorable. One is shy, but the other one (a boy named Alaska!) is THE SWEETEST cat I've ever met in my life. He greeted us when we first arrived and would come over nearly every time I went outside to give me some love. I miss that cat already! 😄
This my first time visiting New Orleans and I absolutely loved it. I will definitely go back at some point, and I would certainly stay at Kelly's place again!
