This was our first time not staying in a hotel. I was with my 16 year old daughter and we were hesitant at first to go with home rental instead. We'd stayed in a hotel last year in The French Quarter and it was surprisingly stressful; mainly coming and going from the hotel and the parking situation. I was thrilled to have free parking right at my front door this time around! The location was perfect! Close to everything, yet far enough away to get a proper breather. The house was really cute and cozy. Each room could be closed off by a door, which is great if someone wants to watch TV, while the other person wants to nap. The Keurig was a nice touch. There were also plenty of K cups, sugar and cream. Another great touch was a supply of bottled water, both cold and room temperature. We didn't do much cooking, but if we'd wanted to, everything we'd have needed was there. Full-size refrigerator and stove. Plenty of towels, linens, blankets, pillows, etc. New Orleans in summer can get down right miserable so the central AC was much appreciated and worked better than mine at my own apartment!! It got cold fast!! Love!!! The ceiling fans were also fabulous! Great lighting with table lamps and overhead lights. We will definitely look first for availability here, when come back. Great experience.
