I almost don’t want to leave this review since my family and I want to come back and stay here again and want it to be available! But in the essence of community, if you are looking for a place to stay in New Orleans, YOU HAVE FOUND IT!
Seriously, this place was perfect for us and our 4 kids. Roominess is not always something you get in NOLA but all three bedrooms are a good size and all have closets (again, not always a thing in NOLA) and having 2 bathrooms was critical.
The kitchen was another bonus. Well stocked and perfect for the one night we stayed in and cooked. Best part was the Moccamaster coffee maker. Go by French Truck Coffee and pick up some of the Commander’s Palace Coffee and Chicory and you can start your mornings off on the right NOLA note. (4.5 tablespoons for 6 cups of water) Plates, bowls, wine glasses…the kitchen really had everything.
The kids loved the Roku TV. Plenty of room in the living room for a family of 6 to lounge and watch TV at night or on a rainy day.
Our daughter even loved that the artwork on the walls was primarily New Orleans themed. Great touch!
There is even a beautiful back yard. There is seating if you wanted to sit outside and take in the lush garden. Our only wish was that the pond/fountain was working! But then, it is usually too hot and humid and buggy to sit outside.
Which brings me to the very critical fact that this place has very efficient central air conditioning and ceiling fans in each room. The beds were all comfortable and there were plenty of pillows and even extra comforters.
The place was clean and tidy and well organized. There is a washer and dryer which means you can pack less and cleaning supplies as well.
Did I mention location? We asked the kids their favorite thing about the place and they all said “The park!” Audubon Park is a few blocks away and my wife and I ran each morning and it was beautiful! The boys went Pokémon hunting each morning too. And oh! The neighbor across the street has an outdoor cat that the kids loved. Fannie Bryce is a feral but friendly cat. Cecil, her owner, is super friendly as well.
And the Uptown location means that you are far away from any craziness and near a lot of great restaurants. Not walking distance really (although Vincent’s is!) but the St. Charles Streetcar is literally 2 blocks away and if you have a car it is easy to get around from here. We’d say the location is PERFECT as long as you are aren’t here for a debauched weekend in the Quarter.
All in all, we would stay here over and over again. One of if not THE best Airbnb experiences we have ever had. It truly made our trip. Thank you!!
