Overall, we enjoyed our 3-night stay here. This home is exactly as described, and it was clean, comfortable, and in a quiet area of New Orleans.

Don was really flexible about our arrival and he met us at the house to go through some basics with us. It's a quick walk to the St Charles street car and a 10-min walk to the nearest Walgreens if you need to buy something you forgot at home. If you like craft beer, definitely check out The Avenue Pub on St Charles and Polymnia. It rained heavily for a few days so we mostly took Ubers everywhere and it usually cost between $8 and $13 to get to other parts of the city (Mid City, French Quarter, Treme, Bywater).

In reality, we were only there to sleep and shower so we didn't take advantage of all of the home's amenities but you certainly could if you wanted to. The kitchen's fully equipped, there's a coin-operated washer/dryer, and a giant tv - you could relax and watch something if you want to (in the kitchen though). We appreciated the hair dryer, iron and board, and the stock of bottled water to take with us when we went exploring (tap water is fine too!).

The only nuisance (a minor one) we experienced was the early morning construction on the house next door. Most nights, we didn't walk in before 3am so we weren't thrilled to be woken up by construction at 8am. Not a deal breaker though, just bring ear plugs or wait until they take a mid morning break and go back to sleep.

Don checked in on us a few times during our stay (to bring fresh bed sheets and fix one of the AC remotes) so that's a testament to how comfortable they want you to be! He is lightning fast to respond to your questions, which is a relief if you've ever lived in Brooklyn and dealt with the landlords. We would recommend this home to our friends and would return (hopefully on a Sunday so we can experience the second line that happens around the block).
