We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tamarin and Steve’s home. The location was great for us, as it was a bike or car ride from Tulane, which we needed to reach several times, but it wasn’t far from other parts of town. The neighborhood felt completely safe, and we were two sisters traveling together who came and went during the day and late in the evening. We loved Vince’s art work, the amenities such as the natural soaps and products and the delicious snacks the hosts left for us. We made full use of this artsy, warm home. The beautiful stone pool is smallish but definitely big enough to do laps and very peaceful and beautiful. There are several sitting options outdoors with beautiful gardens throughout. And the retro bikes with helmets provided a fun alternative way to get around at points. Everything was completely clean and the bed was extremely comfortable — in that perfect range of not too hard and not too soft. On several extremely hot nights during our August stay, the a/c seemed a bit challenged to really cool the space. But this was not a real problem and I didn’t even mention it to the hosts. I just mention it here in case anyone needs a/c that feels more like a refrigerator. It ran and was fine most of the time, but perhaps it needs an upgrade or a look. We will definitely return to this mini paradise on future visits.
