Staying at Malverns place was absolutely wonderful. On arrival, there is no problem 'checking in'. The house is above a law Firm, and you actually have to enter the building through a common area shared with the firm, passing via their receptionist. However, she is lovely and is used to this, so don't be put off with this, just be aware. There are also quite a few stairs to walk up to get to the door.
Once you get in, there are 5 rooms, being a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a lounge room. The kitchen is not big but plenty useful! Malvern stocks the fridge with some welcome food and drink which is great.
The bedrooms are a good size and the beds are very comfy. There is plenty of linen etc as well.
The back room or lounge room is very comfy as well and there are dvd's etc. Its just like being in your own home. Very welcoming. Its on old historic building so don't expect to have glass and brass everywhere, its proper New Orleans living.
Its easy to get to the Quarter on the Streetcar (the Streetcar can be frustrating - none come for ages then there are 3 in a row - just get used to it!).
The house itself is just of St. Charles and is only a few minutes walk to a great pub (The Avenue), the Streetcar stop and a Walgreens, as well as a number of restaurants and fast food outlets.
There is off street parking if you have a car which is very handy. The street itself is pretty quiet and its a nice neighbourhood.
So if you are looking to stay outside of the Quarter and you want to stay in a house, then this is great!
And although we didn't get to meet Malvern in person, he is lovely and easy to communicate with either via the app or phone. And his neighbours seem to like him a lot!
