Just returned from 2017 Mardi Gras and a stay at the Japoolzzi Porch House. It was fantastic and raised the bar for all future trips to NOLA.
Doody and Brady are wonderful hosts. From the beginning their communication was friendly, informative and extremely informative. They sent us the Welcome Packet before we arrived and had a hard copy in the house. It was filled with helpful information about the house and the city. A great resource. Upon arrival they met us to walk us in and make sure we had what we needed. Throughout the stay they were extremely friendly and responsive to any questions and by the time we left we were family.
The house: is awesome. Hardwood floors, soft and comfy beds, a well equipped kitchen including glasses in the freezer for ice cold drinks. It's great space for two couples with two king beds and two baths. Plus the sound proofing is good and if some with up and about the others sleeping were not disturbed. The japoolzzi patio is really nice and a great place to chill out after a hectic day or relax before evening festivities. Plus the porch is amazing. We loved sitting and watching the world go by. Gave us a real neighborhood feel.
The neighborhood: Easy access to everywhere. We had a car and appreciated the parking space. It's also a half block from the Canal St. trolley and within walking distance of several great restaurants and bars.
We highly recommend the house and the host. Book and you won't regret it!
