Two of the evenings we stayed here there were wonderful neighborhood “block parties”— reminiscent of the celebrations of Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs (and maybe that’s what they were!) from when I was in New Orleans in years past— with small brass band “parades” and lots of good cheer. The home is about 4 blocks from Magazine Street (great restaurants & shops), though it was not clear to me whether we would or would not be safe walking these particular blocks at night.
The house itself is a “duplex” style, with privacy (a shared wall with another space, through which we could occasionally— but not a lot— hear others).
The space has some New Orleans character (posters of local music shows or other performances, Mardi Gras beads, etc). It is also a hodgepodge of older, gently worn, mismatched furniture, random dishes & such (and no basic ingredients like sugar, oil, salt, etc in case you intend to cook there). One bed was quite soft, the other was quite firm. It was comfortable as a place to end & start the day— we weren’t spending much time there in a city with so much to offer, and it was in a great location for some key NOLA places & experiences. And though we didn't meet them, the owner seemed nice & pretty responsive via text.
In my opinion, it earned 4.5 stars (but we can only give whole numbers so I rounded up)— but for its price & location we would consider it again, if needed!
