We loved this place!
I travel a lot and use Airbnb all the time so why is this place so special? These are the things that matter to me when I travel and make my stays more comfortable:
1. Just a really cool space. It is well decorated- the artwork is lovely, the furniture is solid, the colors are fun (I actually love the color palette and would love to know the paint colors). It is just a really cool vibe. It has a lot of room and we loved that the kids had the downstairs and we were upstairs. The master bedroom was large and roomy and all the beds were incredibly comfortable with lots of pillows. The kids reported the beds downstairs were great, too. The AC worked well and the temperature was very comfortable despite the outside heat. There are also multiple ceiling fans all over.
2. They had so many things available, it was like staying at a friend's home and not a rental. I always travel with my own spices, coffee and supplies, cooking oil, etc, but this place already had all that. There were more than enough towels (which is unusual), blankets, shampoo/conditioner/soap, etc. I was so impressed with the extra touches. The dishes and glassware were really nice and plentiful. There were lots of cooking supplies.
3. Location was amazing. We walked to a brewery, restaurants, bars, and a grocery store. There were lots of little shops we did not get a chance to go in but looked cool.
We were less than a 5 minute walk from the street car that took us through the Garden District, all the way to the French Quarter. The ride time changed with the time of day and people getting on and off but ranged from 20 minutes to about 45 minutes. I was traveling with kids so I am always careful about safety. This rental felt very secure, safe, and quiet. I was surprised by how safe it felt being so close to a main road, but I didn't worry about anything. The neighborhood itself was really cute and the houses were really fun and interesting to look at. Parking was super easy on the side of the house and even though there is not a driveway or assigned spot, we never had to look elsewhere to find a spot.
I recommend this home 100%! If I come back to NOLA- this will be my choice of a stay.
