It's been a week since we landed in NOLA and I still can't believe how magical a visit it was. The place was perfect for my daughter and I. Cozy enough to feel like home, but spacious enough to spread out and have privacy when we wanted it. My daughter is a creature of comfort and choosing a place to stay is crucial. The comfy couch immediately became her sanctuary in between our comings and goings. Everything is walking distance, I couldn't believe we were literally steps from all the fun on Bourbon Street! I know the description tells you that, but all you had to do was peak out the window to see the musicians and people enjoying themselves. We walked to Napoleon House for dinner or first night and got to see a wedding procession with the second line musicians, followed by drinks on a Bourbon Street balcony all within the first 2 hours of our stay! Truly magical. Michelle was very informative and easy to communicate with. Once we arrived, I realized they provided water for us. What a blessing. That made things so easy. No need to worry about getting enough bottled water, my friends back home laughed when I messaged them about the water. It's a big deal when you're not at home. We also took advantage of the washer/ dryer since we ended up with gumbo or ettoufee on our clothes every night. The walk to Preservation Hall was enchanting, as was the walk to Jackson Square, and the New Orleans School of Cooking. If you know us, you know we drive everywhere! (Nobody walks in LA!) I am already looking forward to our next visit, and I will definitely plan my trip on the availability of this place. The little fun Mardi Gras touches were darling and not too much. 2 thumbs way up. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.
