Our experience was tremendous, and we would most certainly stay here again. Although we never had the chance to meet Isobel and Holis, they were always quick to respond to our emails/texts, always friendly and always informative. They were also willing and able to accommodate our requests for an early check-in and late check-out which we really appreciated.
The apartment is L-O-V-E-L-Y. There's a lot of great art. It's clean (We didn't bring pets, and you would never guess that others have.). The layout is funky and fun yet comfy, and the place has a terrific vibe, an awesome bed and all the amenities you could want - soaps, shampoo and conditioner, sunscreens, a first aid kit, Apple TV, sound machine, coffee, teas, clean towels, reading materials about New Orleans, a varied collection of local restaurant menus for every taste bud (They didn't miss a thing!). If that wasn't enough, we were greeted by local treats - Abita beer and soda and a Rousse's King Cake! We felt at home instantly!
We took Isobel and Holis' advice and walked around City Park. Definitely a must! Public transport is not far at all, trolley car rides into the city were fun, and the neighborhood was very quiet. It is good to note that their street is a mix of residential and industrial. We opted to cab after dark and met a couple of great cab drivers.
Thank you, Holis and Isobel! We hope to meet you when we visit again!
