Overall, our experience here was great. I may spend more words describing issues we had with the intention of providing detail for future guests but it should not outweigh the overall five star review.
This home is in a great location in the Garden District. The area is pedestrian friendly and a car is optional. Parking was also not difficult to find nearby. It's a 7 minute walk to St Charles, 4 minutes to Surrey's, 2 minutes to Root.
Tammy was very helpful and provided logistical details well before check-in.
The house is cute and accurate to the photos The front-to-back layout goes patio -> living room -> kitchen -> bedroom -> bathroom. All the rooms were neat and tidy, the linens were clean and appliances were well maintained. The sofa bed pulls out with minimal effort and the coffee table moves easily to accommodate.
The window shutters are stuck open-ish, but that seems to be consistent with other homes nearby with exterior shutters. This gives the impression that someone walking by could see in, but this is not the case because the windows are 6-8 feet above the ground due to the house being elevated.
The hot water runs out fairly quickly for those used to larger water heaters. We got in late, shower at night and have young children, so this was a bad combination the first night. On subsequent nights we were able to plan around this and it wasn't a problem. In our experience there was enough hot water for 3 quick showers in succession, being diligent to turn off water during soaping/shampooing.
There were loud conversations from groups walking down Magazine that could be heard from the bedroom once or twice each night. It didn't bother us, but might be helpful to keep in mind for early / light sleepers.
Last pro tip: Avenue Pub is a must visit for any beer or whisky fans.
