The neighborhood where the Voodoo Villa is located is quiet and very cozy. The home was built in 1822 (I believe) and much of the original elegance of the home remains. We walked everywhere we went during our 4 night stay. The only night we used a cab was our final night when we traveled to Jacques Imo's in Uptown for dinner. (Go there. Trust me.) Otherwise, we walked everywhere, at all hours and always felt safe. The road is well lit and a straight walk to the Quarter. I'd say roughly a 10-15 minute walk to the heart of the action depending on how much you are gawking around as you go. You literally walk out of the front door, turn right, walk straight until you get to Bourbon St., turn Right. Boom. We logged typically about 25,000 steps a day on our Fitbits. Armstrong Park is very nearby where we were pleased to stumble upon a small jazz fest complete with some performing Mardi Gras Indians and local artists and food. Lafitte’s is also just a few blocks away.

The city is laid out basically in a grid fashion. Roads are clearly marked on traditional street posts and usually in the sidewalks itself at the corners and so navigating around the city is very easy.

The room is comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. Shampoo, conditioner, bandaids, shaving cream, razors, antacid, ibuprofen, scissors, Q-tips, etc. (but no lotion…the one thing I forgot. LOL) There is a basket full of complimentary snacks (chips, candy bars, snack cakes, crackers, popcorn) and bottled water and a few pops in the fridge. Did I mention they are complimentary? No $5 charge for a bottle of water! The bathroom is HUGE! If I had to come up with a complaint, there is no door to the shower and if two people are showering at once, it’s impossible to NOT splash water all over the bathroom. The bath towels are huge and soft and comfy and plentiful!

Plenty of privacy. We met Scott as we checked in, he took his time showing us the room, giving us tips and answering our questions and then we never saw him again although they are available via cell if needed. They have a MIL suite that was also occupied while we were there and we never saw those tenants either. It’s like having your very own apartment. Thank you Scott and Jeb for a great stay! We will be back!
