Some close friends and I stayed here during our first trip to New Orleans and had a wonderful time. Extremely comfortable beds and living area, beautifully designed space, and dream-like showers. Also, there are three showers which makes it easy to get a group ready in the morning. Between sightseeing during the day and going out at night, it was the perfect place to relax and take a late afternoon siesta. We loved all the outdoor space, especially the second floor balcony with a view over Esplanade Ave. The back yard is also lovely but keep in mind it is a shared space--not a problem if you like talking to new people though! The location was great for us, between Marigny and Treme and about a 15 minute walk to all the music venues on Frenchmen street where we spent our nights. Esplanade Ave is a beautiful boulevard lined with old trees, but it is a main thoroughfare in the neighborhood. It's quiet at night except for the sounds of passing cars which didn't bother those of us in the front bedrooms, however if you are someone who needs dead silence and darkness to sleep the back bedrooms would be better for you. The host also provides white noise machines in all the rooms which is a nice touch (though personally I love street sounds). Overall we all loved our "home base" during this visit and would certainly come back!
