The Hosts are good people and were very accommodating! They responded quick and provided what I needed in the kitchen so quick. The house is in a very nice area, I felt super safe, and the moment I stepped into the very clean house & felt like I was home! By far this vrbo home is number one on my list. There were travel toiletries available, snacks, soda/water, & a nicely stocked Keurig coffee pot! The best part besides all this was the fact that the yard was fenced in for my service dogs & ever a pooper scooper to help pick up! I highly recommend this spot

A great little home for a group looking to stay between The French Quarter and Mid-City. Christine was very communicative and attentive, making sure our check-in went smoothly. The house is a classic shotgun layout with all we needed and a few little thoughtful touches courtesy of Christine. Willie Mae's is right around the corner, which is a great cultural/culinary landmark I'd recommend hitting as soon as you arrive. There are a couple other popular lunch and dinner spots nearby, but we didn't get a chance to check them out. Everyone we encountered in the neighborhood was friendly, but we spent most of our time exploring elsewhere. A Lyft to either downtown or mid-city was usually around $8, but the trolly on Canal was only a few blocks away, and paying via the RTA app is quite simple and cheap. A couple nights we walked the 25-30 minutes home from the French Quarter along Orleans Ave without issue. Christine lives next door and is very attentive should you need anything, but we had no real needs beyond what was already there. We had a great stay and left totally satisfied, having been able to appreciate many different parts of New Orleans at a great value. Would be happy to return on our next trip!
