This place feels like home away from home. Michelle made sure everything was super comfortable upon arriving, including the temperature inside. The house is cozy yet spacious and has everything you need for your stay. It is just as close to the French Quarter as you could hope to be without paying FrQtr prices, and the Marigny has its own little gems as well, with tons of live music to be heard just around the corner. That being said, it’s a quiet street and you won’t encounter many neighbors on a day to day basis.
The only thing I would mention is to bring an umbrella if you can, and layers. It can start off mild in the morning in the winter, but get incredibly hot and muggy by midday. And it just rains randomly like it does all summer in Florida.
The house itself has a gas heater which can be weird if you’re used to radiators or central heat. It also has very high-hung mirrors so if you aren’t a tall person, you’ll probably have to use the full length in the bedroom. Let’s see... I love how high the ceilings are, and there’s two ceiling fans for air circulation. The water pressure and temperature is perfectly fine in the shower; the hot water tap in the sink is weak and takes a while to heat up. The place could use a couple of hooks to hang towels on but other than that, it was perfect for a week!
