Having lived in New Orleans for years, and taking this trip to show off the city to my in-laws who'd never been there, I had high standards for where to stay. I honestly feared that this place was too good to be true, but it exceeded every expectation I had, and my in-laws were already asking when we could rent the house again by the third day of the trip.
The house is spacious, clean, and has everything most people would need to enjoy themselves properly in NOLA. The location in the Irish Channel put us right in the middle of what Uptown has to offer (including quick enough walking access to carnival parade routes that we could walk back for bathroom breaks), but also close enough to the Quarter to where we could take a gorgeous sightseeing walk there in less than 45 minutes. The pleasant surprise of its location about 80 feet from one of my two favorite restaurants in the city, Coquette, and around the corner from the legendary Parasol's bar for roast beef po-boys and a classic neighborhood drinking spot, was a huge bonus as well. Walking proximity to a grocery and drug store for necessities, as well as one of the city's better seafood markets for cooking a nice dinner in in the well-equipped kitchen, made it feel almost like living there again.
I really can't recommend the place more highly. Even the upstairs bathroom arrangement, which others have mentioned, was not an issue since the floors are so freakishly quiet for an old New Orleans house that we were able to walk through the bedroom to the downstairs restroom without waking up the two light sleepers in the walk-through bedroom. If you want a taste of the real New Orleans experience, away from the madness and big buildings of the Quarter/CBD/Warehouse District but still with quick access, stay here.
