A few old friends and I stayed here for a long weekend in November 2018. We enjoyed ourselves and the house was a good base for lots of various adventures in New Orleans. A couple of things to note based on our experience:
- The hosts were very easy to communicate with and accommodating to our requests to check in early (1 pm) and check out late (2 pm).
- The hosts gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants, bars, etc that were not super tourist-y, and much appreciated.
- The house is newly remodeled, so everything is fresh, clean, and modern, if a little sparse. It doesn't have that "lived-in" feel.
- The neighborhood seemed safer than it has been historically, but is not conducive to walking around - not many/any conveniences within walking distance. We decided to rent a car after arriving, and then it was super convenient to be able to drive to multiple different neighborhoods that would otherwise have been inaccessible. So, I recommend having a car if you're going to stay here.
- There are only 3 bedrooms - two have double beds and are good for 1 person or a couple, and one has a queen bed plus a twin. There are also multiple other places to sleep - a single bed with a pull-out trundle bed in the hallway, and a bed that pulls out from the ottoman in the living room. Both are ok for sleeping but are not private to the rest of the house and don't have dressers/closets.
- There is no dining room, but there is a kitchen table that seats 4 comfortably and the kitchen is well equipped to cook.
- The living room only had 1 couch and no other seating options, so not ideal for spending much time in for more than 2-3 people.
With this info ahead of time, we were quite happy with our 3 night stay, and would recommend it for small groups looking for an out-of-the-way base camp to have adventures throughout New Orleans!
