Amazing value without sacrificing quality - we are certain to stay again!
We really enjoyed our stay. Kim is a very kind and responsive host. Check in was easy and convenient and Kim remained available throughout our stay and provided us with great suggestions of activities and restaurants. The property itself is a great size for 2 guests. Having the full sized fridge and stovetop is great. It is nice to be able to have breakfast before going out or store any leftovers when you can't help but order every dish when you go out. The shower is really nice and spacious and the water was really hot. The bed is very comfortable and we slept very well. Climate controls are great and the Roku enabled TV worked well for a little Netflix to relax with. The Wifi was fast and reliable. You will feel extra secure with the easy to use alarm system. The property is on a boulevard and there is a good deal of traffic and pedestrian traffic. You can hear street noise during the day but the neighbourhood is quiet at night, and we had absolutely no trouble sleeping nor were we ever disturbed.
We liked the neighbourhood and enjoyed that it is dominated by classic New Orleans shotgun houses. In typical southern fashion, people will greet you when you walk around the neighbourhood and this really enriches the experience and will make your day bright.
We found great food within an easy walk from the property and particularly enjoyed the famous Willy Mae's for fried chicken (almost next door - get there early to avoid a line. Though you'll probably chat with some nice people and learn about cool places to go next) and Parkway Bakery for po'boys. There's a 24/7 convenience store with grocery directly across the street and a whole foods only 3 blocks away, so its easy to get anything you may need during your stay.
It took us only about 20 minutes to walk to the French Quarter so the location is fantastic, we like walking so we walked almost everywhere, but the times we took a Lyft, there was always one available within 2 minutes and going to the French Quarter will cost you under 8$. A Lyft from the airport will cost you only about 33$ including the airport fee for the 20ish minute ride (we found that to be significantly cheaper than a taxi and great value compared to most city airport runs)
This property would be very suitable for a longer stay given the kitchen as well as full washer and dryer.
We will 100% without a doubt be returning to this or another listing by the same hosts during football season next year!
