This tiny guest house is so charming and everything you could want for a visit to NOLA.
The space: pretty spot on with these pictures, including the very narrow spiral stairs and small doorway to the shower, so we wouldn’t recommend this for a larger person (it took some coordinating between the two of us to get our suitcases upstairs), or someone who may struggle to make it up the narrow staircase regularly. The bed is also rather soft in the middle; my partner and I tended to keep rolling into the center accidentally. You really do feel like you’re in a treehouse staying here. Waking up and opening the window in the bedroom was a morning routine, as was hanging out with the adorable courtyard kitties who were super sweet and friendly. There are cats all over the neighborhood, and most are friendly, but the black kitty who hangs here in the courtyard was especially a sweetheart!
The amenities: The smart tv was a bit older and the smart features were no longer supported, so Rita ordered a Roku for the space while we were there, which works wonderfully on guest mode so that you can sign into your favorite apps/streaming services and get logged out automatically when you leave. There is cable too, though not a huge selection of channels. There is a small mini fridge, microwave, and dish ware set which is nice when you have a lot of leftovers from your restaurant visits. Having access to free onsite laundry was also great, since our stay was a little over a week long it was nice to be able to do laundry.
The host: Rita goes above and beyond to make sure her guests feel welcome here! We arrived a few hours before check in and asked if we could swing by to drop off our luggage and Rita was more than accommodating to allow us to check in a bit early.
The location: One of the best things about this space is the location - it is perfectly located in the Marigny making it a quick and nice walk to/from the French Quarter, and to restaurants and shops around the Marigny and Bywater. Perfectly walkable to everything you could possibly want to do nearby!
Overall we had an amazing visit, and would happily stay here again in the future. If we end up visiting NOLA again, I’ll definitely be crossing my fingers that this space is available!
