Myself and four friends stayed at the house to celebrate Halloween in New Orleans (all of us our first time there as well). We arrived the evening Friday with the city bustling but arrived to a relatively quiet part of the town to the house. I will say right off the top that the most important thing I learned about New Orleans is to adopt the mindset that nothing is what it seems. A dark bar will house the friendliest people all the way to the nicest restaurants being unfortunate tourist traps. You have to suspend your preconceptions before making any judgement.

Home owner Chita was waiting at the steps for us and walked us right in. The house was just as described - two main bedrooms, a beautiful living room with a pull out couch , a dining room, kitchen and nice private backyard. (have to mention the high ceilings and decor!)

We had everything we needed and while we were away from the house exploring the city for most of the day, it was a great home base for the trip (those beds we super comfy and were a welcome sight after our late nights out). Unfortunately the weather didn't let us enjoy the backyard as much as I would have liked but we had some great times in the house getting ready for our nights out.

I would stay here again without a doubt. It definitely added an extra warm and welcoming layer to the entire trip down south - I wouldn't want to experience New Orleans any other way.
