Just returned from 3 nights at Jeanne’s lovely home in New Orleans. I have a family of four plus one small dog and we found her house to be more than enough room for all of us.
As Jeanne mentioned, this is her home, so it’s lived in, but it was very clean and furnished well. And even though we only used the kitchen for morning coffee, it had everything one would need if they wanted to cook their own meals. But this is New Orleans...why would you want to do that!!
The space itself was much bigger than I thought it would be and everyone had their own room. The master bathroom is much bigger than any hotel bath and there was plenty of room for all our toiletries. The second bath was also adequate for our kids to share and would have been fine for adults as well.
The backyard is massive and has a custom treehouse that’s really cool. Both of my kids are teens now so they were way to cool to admit they liked it, but younger kids would love. There’s also a small fish pond that my dog loved. The house has a great back porch that overlooks the backyard that would have been a perfect place for morning coffee or an afternoon drink if the weather is nice. Unfortunately for us the weather didn’t cooperate.
Jeanne was a perfect host and was always available to answer any questions we had. She also knows the city well and gave us lots of ideas for things to do and restaurants to try from a locals perspective.
The neighborhood was easy to get to and we never had a problem parking. We always felt safe and it was only a short drive to the French Quarter and the other great neighborhoods of New Orleans. But we really enjoyed the neighborhood(Mid-City) Jeanne’s house is in and spent most of our time exploring there.
I would recommend Jeanne’s house to anyone looking to have a unique experience in one of the south’s greatest cities. We look forward to returning on another trip in the future
