Great experience in NOLA. The house is in an awesome location. You couldn’t be closer to the streetcar which will take you anywhere you want and there’s plenty of great restaurants and bars within walking distance. We also utilized the city bikes- there’s a corral just a couple blocks from the house.
The only reason I had to go 4 stars is because the listing is a little inaccurate. This house lists as an “entire house to yourself” with a “private entrance”. The house is more of a quadplex. The rented unit is upstairs on the left of the house. The owner lives just next door with a shared patio. There is also a tenant on the first floor (directly under the rented unit). No back yard. Both the owner and her tenant were very polite and Elizabeth offered some great suggestions about the neighborhood but it was still less than ideal for a rowdy group of 12 guys.
The only other negative is the layout of the house. It was very clean with plenty of extra bedding and linens, with more towels and hot water than you’ll ever need. But it is a shotgun house. You have to walk through the living room (two sofa beds) and the first bedroom to get to the first bathroom. Then through bedroom 2 to get to the kitchen. Then through bedroom 4 and bedroom 3 to get to the second bathroom. I don’t think this is uncommon for homes in NOLA but, again, maybe not ideal for a bunch of single guys without even doors separating some of the sleeping areas.
Overall a great place to stay, especially for a large family or group of couples.
