Fellow travelers - this place is superb for what it is: A very reasonably priced large house right next to the Quarter.
I feel like this listing flies under the radar of a lot of people due to the obscure title "Ghosh Traveled" (instead of something normal and catchy like "Cute 4 bedroom house located blocks from the French Quarter!")
Don't hesitate to rent from Dayamaya (he is a great host!)
Eight of us stayed here over Halloween, for 5 days, and we were all extremely satisfied.
Pros:
- Super freaking close to French Quarter (walking distance to the entire quarter). It's just a few blocks to the edge of the Quarter, maybe 18-20 minutes to Jackson Square.
- Wonderful covered front porch area for smokers and chilling/people watching
- 4 separate bedrooms, and they are unexpectedly large with full closets (you could easily fit an inflatable mattress into each bedroom if needed)
-ten million couches!! (really like 5 but basically the living room is all couches as far as the eye can see - PERFECT for large groups and sleeping extra bodies)
-new floors, new windows, new heating and AC system which works like a dream (we used both options during our visit)
-washer and dryer! (and a few other appliances like a coffee maker and microwave)
-the owner runs a taxi service if needed (though Lyft/Uber priced out cheaper in general) - we did use his cab service one night and the driver was amazing.
-this is the LOWEST COST 4 bedroom house this close to the FQ that I could find over 2 weeks of looking. Superb value - period.
Cons:
-the neighborhood might be a bit on the rough side for some (we call it "hood adjacent"), but we encountered no issues over 5 days on one of the biggest party weekends in NOLA. I loved the neighborhood myself.
-lack of character (the house has zero decor or personality other than the cool purple color) - the rooms are literally barren, there was still some construction material lying around, all the windows still have the packing stickers on them from like a year ago that were never removed. This is purely an aesthetic issue, but explains the VERY LOW COST (I'm fine not having the frills and homey touches in this case). No complaints. The house itself was bug free and in absolutely perfect condition.
-beds not super comfy, but not totally uncomfortable either. I prefer a softer mattress and these run *very* firm for the most part.
If I come back to NOLA I'm definitely checking with Dayamaya again!
