Great location, spotlessly clean, new property with so comfy beds. Hard to find fault.
Firstly I need to thank the host for getting me out of a spot of bother after another host let me down at the last minute. Jessica was very accommodation in accepting a very late request.
Great care and attention has been paid to ensuring the quality of goods at this house which was spotlessly clean. The property is modern and new throughout. The bedding, beds and linen are top notch. The kitchen utensils are similarly of a very high quality from pots, pans crockery and coffee machine; cooking was a breeze.
The beds are possibly the most comfortable I have slept in, it was like sleeping on a cloud, beds are simply huge with memory foam mattress, no expense has been spared. It was a joy and pleasure to sleep in such comfort with clean and fresh smelling bedding akin to a five star hotel.
The bathroom is large and spotlessly clean with plenty of fresh clean towels. Again the cleanliness and fresh smelling towels and cloths was outstanding; clean, crisp and white throughout.
The location is perfect, a two minute walk to the iconic street car stop which will have you down in the French quarter in 15 minutes for the cost of $1.25, no need for taxi as the street car operates 24/7. There is also ample free on street car parking at the property.
The Irish channel and specifically Magazine Street is a 20 minute walk away and is very charming area with bars and restaurants that are possibly more authentic New Orleans than Bourbon Street.
The house area is very safe, close enough to the main tourist trap yet far enough away should you wish to escape its dynamics. It is a lovely place for a walk or jog. A supermarket and gas station are but five minutes walk away. The neighbours are welcoming, friendly and engaging without being nosey.
Being on a secondary street it does have ambient noise during the day, although this is just general neighbourhood noise, not loud or filled with bars, but at night it is perfectly quiet. The street noises at night never disturbed and I found the distant rumbling of the street car very therapeutic.
The property is new, with kitchen and sitting room size best described as compact and slightly smaller than the photos suggest, this is not to say that it is small, it is functional and cosy, unless you plan on having four courses family sit down meals every day you will have ample space. The bedrooms and bathroom are quite large and bigger than photos suggest. The table and chairs outside the door were put to great use and relaxing to watch the world go by with a coffee in the morning or drink in the evening, or whichever way round your preferences are.
Accessing the property was seamless with the use of both keyless entry and smart technology. No need to worry about forgetting keys as access is via keypads or on your smartphone.
The building itself comprises two units, one upstairs and the other downstairs, both have completely separate street level private entrances. We stayed on the ground floor and the upstairs unit was occupied for part of our time there. Footfalls can be heard from the upstairs unit but not too loud and was not disturbing.
Overall it is hard to find fault with the property and Jessica is an A++ host who communicates quickly and follows up to see if there is anything you need. This property is to be recommended and I would have no hesitation to stay here again. Although we tried to extend out stay the property was booked. I’d imagine that during peak times the property would be hard to get.
Grab it if you can !!!!
