WOW! What a place to stay! Way beyond our expectations. The house had everything we needed and more. Two things made the stay, the location and the property itself.
I went into my stay thinking that Algiers Point would be too far away from the action across the river but this thought couldn't have been further from reality. A short ferry ride which was actually pretty cool, crossing the Mississippi with all the other ships traveling up and down the river ,was an experience on it's own. Then you're right in downtown with access to everything you need as a tourist- French Quarter, Canal Street, the street car, restaurants, short trip to Magazine, anyways, New Orleans is small, furthest drive took us 15 minutes.
Then you got Algiers Point itself. This area is quiet, super safe and almost untouched by commercialism. The houses were beautiful, great architecture, great for a walk. Running, walking, biking trails were great as was the view from the house (can see the entire city from the upstairs window). There are a few places to eat and drink, and all were charming. the locals were fun, interesting and helpful all around the couple times we got lost.
The property itself was beautiful, you can tell the owners/ designers put some serious time and energy in the design. 4 bedrooms was perfect for our stay, we stayed in the queen upstairs with the window, you can see the entire city, it's great to wake up to and the sunset was unbeatable. The courtyard in front was great for hanging out and there was a little bit of shade so it didn't get too hot. The sheets were comfortable, the bed in general, also comfortable. Had all the cooking pots and pans we needed to make a good size meal. The tub was wonderful and the back area was great to simply hang out in.
I would come here again, move in if the owners let me, and I could afford it. Jeff was a fantastic host and I couldn't recommend him more! Thank you!
