Stay HERE. New Orleans is magic, but if you need a little secluded mystery garden, some butterfly science, hip and totally comfie/safe location STAY HERE! Brooke and Elliott were so accommodating and kind. The apartment is fully stock. They made a potentially stressful trip with daughter and grandbaby legitimately carefree. To be completely transparent, I own a house in the neighborhood but needed to put my family up (no room at my place). I had never communicated with Brooke or Elliott before, but they made us right at home and allowed us to feel it was "all ours". Now they are MY neighbors, you know?? The location is so amazing (hey y'all, I bought a house across the street). If you want to be close to everything and yet quiet, neighbohood and local, THIS is your rental. Clean, airy, temperate (so important), and charming. Our family will be happily enjoying the bougainvillea and wild ginger on that awesome back porch swing again. And if you didn't pay attention: Bathtub. For. Giants. Why do people pay for hotel rooms instead of awesome experiences like this? Stay local with beautiful people in Bayou St. John.
