The room is much larger than it appeared in the photos—even plenty of room for both of us to practice yoga. The bed was very comfortable and the linens were soft.
It is a shared space but we were unaffected by any other guests. The place is spacious yet cozy. The kitchen is fully functional with utensils, dishes, oven, electric range stove, and we were able to cook breakfast. Joe (the host) provided coffee and a coffee maker too. It was very clean, not dusty or moldy (I have very severe allergies to both).
Joe is an excellent host. We arrived early and he was still able to accommodate us and let us drop off our luggage. He provided us with suggestions both verbal and written for places to go that fit our interests and vegan food. (Sneaky pickle was at the end of the street walking distance, super good). Communication was very prompt and friendly, with very thorough directions.
The neighborhood was my favorite In New Orleans. The bywater area is Very walkable and lots of beautiful large trees, vegan friendly restaurants and cafes, fun shops, music venues and places to see.
We took the bus there from the airport which takes 1.5 hours approximately. It was 2 bus rides with a nice view of town if you have the time. Otherwise it’s a 10-20 min Lyft ride from anywhere and an easy bus or street car ride from anywhere in the inner city/downtown/French quarter.
I would recommend this place. We would’ve stayed longer if it were available.
It’s important to note, there is a narrow walkway to the door and requires a step up to get in the house and in the room —for folks with wheelchairs this entrance may be too narrow —but the host may have other solutions.
