Great stay for the family!
We really enjoyed this property for being exactly as described and for the owner’s responsiveness to our questions.
It Is literally a 2 minute walk to the bus stop. I downloaded the RTA MOBILE app which is for the transit system and could see how far the next bus was and time our walk to the stop about 5 min from ETA and it was perfect. Even if you’re waiting there’s a bench you can sit on. It was about a 15-20 min ride to Canal St where you could walk to all the downtown sites.
I liked the safety of the neighborhood vs staying on Bourbon or Canal and enjoyed several restaurants on Magazine st. (Our faves were Joey K’s, Red Dog Diner, & Rum House). There’s a Walgreens and Breaux Market (grocery) for waters etc. about 2 bus stops away. We didn’t drive the car at all except to our swamp excursion otherwise we used our multi day jazzy passes for the bus.
The house is clean and hospitable and full of character. It IS a shotgun style house so you walk into living room—second bedroom—master bedroom—kitchen—-laundry hall—-bathroom. One thing to note is the shower is on the small side and my hubby who is 6’3” was slightly cramped. But he didn’t complain and there’s a huge bathtub if you can’t hack it.
The hosts stock the house y’all—plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, even shampoo/conditioner, laundry supplies. Seriously this is the best stocked rental I’ve ever stayed at—even SPICES in the kitchen.
Charlie gave us some great suggestions about live music venues and other general questions. I love the keypad entry so nothing to keep up with and (to lose)! Lots to love.
Thank you so much!!
