I have a lot of good things to say about our stay and a few not so good things. Let’s start with the good. The house was very clean and welcoming and it was literally only 10 minutes away from almost anywhere you would want to go. There were lots of amenities and nice little touches like coffee, cream, sugar and other basic cooking ingredients.
The not so good was more misleading than bad. From the pictures, it looked like you got the whole house but really the property is divided into 2 residences and our unit was in the back. It wasn’t a big deal because we didn’t really see the other occupants and the back porch and yard was only available to us. It was pretty quiet when we were there (as quiet as New Orleans can be) but the street was busy. It is literally a highway entrance which was bothersome since we had an infant and toddler to load into the car, which brings me to my biggest gripe. The other tenant was already parked in the very narrow driveway so we had to park on the street even though it was advertised as private parking on premises. Then we had to squeeze by her car to get to our unit. We could either walk through a narrow space ( barely a foot wide) between her SUV and the house or an even smaller space on the other side between her SUV and the neighbors bushes. Not easy with suitcases and infant seats. Also, there was no dedicated work space, grill, or outside dining area (which wasn’t a big deal for us, but might be for others). There were only 3 beds (1 Queen and 2 twins) There was a sofa that had a tressel-type section that pulled out that you could sleep on and an air mattress. Besides the parking situation, it is a lovely property and perfect for a smaller family.
