The host, James, is friendly and communication before and during our stay was easy. We enjoyed learning about his family's local history up and down the street.
The location is in the historical Uptown area, walking distance to the zoo and parks.The streetcar has stops on St. Charles, which is just a couple short blocks away, and also the official perimeter of The Garden District, although the beauty of the houses and flowers flow throughout the entire neighborhood.
The house itself is half of a double shotgun home from the 20's. We loved the history and unique experience, but appreciated the TV's in each room. There is a large custom built, open closet for hanging clothes. It had everything we needed. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and spices and plenty of other items we didn't really need since we ate out so much.
The three of us just couldn't get enough of the amazing food around town.We loved the oysters at Superior Seafood. The Creole Oysters at Gallier's were the best -129 Carondelet St. Both are by tram stops. The French Quarter Music Festival was such a treat!
We will definitely book with James in the future. Thank you for making us feel at home.
