We really loved this house. Perhaps we are not the typical NOLA crew -- we were 2 small families with a couple of kids trying to escape a midwest winter. But honestly, this house would be ideal for just about anyone. The backyard is spectacular, as the pictures show. We loved grilling and watching college basketball on the outdoor TV while the kids played in the pool. The bedrooms are spacious and the layout works really well with 3.5 baths. Loved the big dining room table to share a meal. The art adds a lot of character. Even the shampoo/soap/Drybar hairdryers were top notch.
We purposely wanted a space away from the French Quarter. This area was great for a few walkable restaurants, cafes and bars, as well as a walkable grocery store and other options like Whole Foods only a couple minutes away (we actually had Whole Foods deliver via the Amazon app). We've been to NOLA many times, so I recognized that we were staying on a busy/loud street with commercial businesses. That may not be for everyone, but it didn't bother us.
Sam was an outstanding host. He responded both pre-trip and during the trip within minutes. Thank you Sam for a great stay - we would absolutely rent again.
