I absolutely adored this space! My stay was a month long and from the minute I walked in it felt like home!
The House: This space is exactly as pictured and as soon as you walk in you are greeted to a distinctly beautifully fresh fragrance. Ethelyn's tour is wonderful, giving you all the need to knows and a bit of a special touch with her sweet smile! The apartment is bigger than it looks in the pictures and you still have the safety and privacy anyone would want in a neighborhood. My personal favorite was the chickens and the sleepy cat in the neighbors yards. Don't be concerned though - you can't hear the chickens in the bedroom and of course the cat minds his own business!
Location: Being on the westbank is pretty dope considering you have the levee to walk, the historic houses in the neighborhood to view, and a cute coffee shop and restaurants to keep you fed and have quick access to getting across the bridge and back. I will say the restaurants do have unique hours so be on the watch for that, but they are great for ease of access and getting a locals vibe of NO. I also enjoyed being so close to the ferry, it was a very quick walk (10ish mins) and exceptionally inexpensive to use going back and forth in town. For extended visitors - having a car is helpful for doing things like grocery stores and shopping but it's not mandatory.
The Host: Ms Ethelyn was pretty amazing, she gives you all the nice to haves to start off when you arrive and also everything is super convenient including all the kitchen utensils you could ask for. She is very accessible while you are there answering any questions very quickly.
I definitely put this on my top lists of recommendations and look forward to my next visit with Ethelyn.
