What a gem!
Sophie has thought of the smallest details to ensure her guests feel at ease in her home. The decor is chic and the space is filled with natural light. The home is very comfortable without all the useless clutter one often finds in AirBnBs. It is obvious she loves her adopted hometown as she has thoughtfully provided maps, directions, recommendations, and spend time preparing an online guest book with tips for the delicious restaurants, music venues and local shops a few blocks away on Oak Street. As mentioned In another review the bed dies squeak a bit when you are settling in, but it was comfortable and not at all bothersome. I always bring my own pillow so I cannot comment on the ones provided. I found The bedroom to be spacious with adequate closet space provided for hanging clothes and storing luggage out of sight. There is a desk for applying makeup or for working on the computer if needed. A full length mirror in the room is a nice touch as well. One thing folks need to understand about New Orleans is that it is, by definition, a little rough around the edges. That is a huge part of its charm. I say this because out-of-towners may not understand or appreciate Sophie’s peaceful, charming , and tastefully appointed home because it is located in what some may call a ‘transitional’ neighborhood. To be sure I felt secure and safe at all times when do I g and going (late evening and early morning). In fact I has the good fortune to meet a down the block neighbor who was an interesting character and was greeted by and waved at by a couple of other neighbors. Sophie lives in a lovely community in a diverse city.
