If you love Oak Street and all the fun that comes with it, this is DEFINITELY your place. Location, location, location. Breads on Oak is 2 doors down, around corner and a couple blocks is Jaques-Imos(great food), La Casita (great food and great margaritas), continue down to Ale and the Wine bar, Eclectic home if you want to do some fun shopping, and Ru de la Course coffee shop is excellent. Also DTB is great, get the fried corn bread-YUM!
The house is exactly as pictured. A new old New Orleans style with high ceilings and dark wood floors. Beds are comfortable and spacious, bathrooms are very nice, great showers, plenty of towels, pillows etc. Chris has great amenities including everything you need for coffee, spices, etc. There is both a Keurig and a coffee pot. The living room is very spacious and comfortable. there were 10 of us and it was plenty of space including at the huge dining room table where we had Thanksgiving dinner (from Langensteins-was great). Also off street parking which is wonderful.
If you are visiting your child at Loyola or Tulane this is about as close as you can get. 5 minutes to campus. If you are not familiar with the city, Uptown is about 20 minutes from the french quarter, the street car is at the end of oak or you can uber for about $12. But you really don't need to leave uptown as it is a great part of the city and has tons of things to do both in Carrolton and off of Magazine street.
Chris was great with communication. We had a minor issue when we first got there and he responded and took care of it timely. He was also very nice in allowing part of our group, who arrived early to get into the house before normal check in.
Great experience. If we come back with this big of a group we would go back to this home.
