Maria and her husband Tom were wonderful! They communicated well with me throughout the whole process and even shared some great tips and recommendations for our trip. Having never been to New Orleans before, this was extremely helpful and I was very appreciative of this.

The location was great! The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. More importantly, the house was away from the fun and chaos of the French Quarter and Bourbon street, but still easily accessible. We rented a car so everything was on average about 10-15 minutes away. While I love all that those areas have to offer, it was nice to come back to a quiet place to unwind and go to sleep. The bedrooms and common areas were clean and welcoming, which was a top priority for me.

My only wish was that that the decor in the house was a bit more modern. But I believe the house had been in the family for quite some time so I understand the owners' choice in probably not wanting to change too much.

If you're a non smoker, you may have to deal with the smell of cigarette smoke. There were candles in the house so I burned those to help get the smell out. After that, it was fine.

Would definitely recommend!
