Mark’s place in the Treme is a beautiful house; richly historic and perfect for my family’s 5 night stay. Please note that you will not be staying in a hotel, so you will experience New Orleans authenticity and the nuances of an older home. The home is in order and beautifully kept. It is also situated JUST outside the French Quarter, so any noise was local, not tourist riffraff; and the streets are not one-way. Both Uber and Lyft were reasonable and the streetcars were accessible within two blocks if we didn’t want to walk.
This rental is a home with two spaces (think top and bottom flats), so we heard occasional sounds from next door or beneath, which we didn’t mind and I’m sure was mutual. We also heard the street sounds, including music, locals and the unexpected and fantastic Spring Equinox celebration.
The kitchen and bathroom were clean and fully functioning. We appreciated having dish soap, hand soap and shampoo when we arrived since we had to learn our way around the neighborhood.
The gas station one block toward the Quarter had good fried fast food and easy-access drinks for our walk.
Matassa’s market was a short four block walk on our way into or out of the Fr Quarter for groceries and necessities. Get there early if you want to get the fresh-made food from the back deli.
We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for making us fall in love with New Orleans again!
