Our host Emmanuel was great! Very responsive to questions and accommodating, it was a pleasure to spend our family vacation at his NOLA home. We maxed out this house with our big family and still felt we had plenty of space. The house is not perfect, but the size, layout, 4 bathrooms and amazing yard make up for any small things that may not be perfect. We cooked most every day and found everything suitable for cooking for a large group was there. Appreciate some little things that other hosts miss: lots of bath and pool towels, nice large capacity washer and dryer, cabinet in the kitchen with leftovers lile shampoo and sunscreen, lots of paper plates and plenty of dishsoap, handsoap, sanitizer and paper towels. There were even a variety of coolers and ice packs free for our use.
But the star of this property is the backyard. It was huge, fully fenced with a beautiful new pool and hot tub. We spent hours every day enjoying the pool. Lots of outdoor seating and umbrellas, a volleyball setup and a variety of sports stuff available, even a large Bluetooth speaker. The master bed and bathroom is gorgeous, beautifully decorated and spa-like.
We went into town several times. Fairly easy drive in 15 to 20 minutes and plenty of ubers available for the late night crowd. It was fun going to the city then returning to our oasis away from it all. Great balance!
There are impeccable homes in premium areas of NOLA but you will pay. This home is right if you, like us, don't have unlimited funds but want to experience NOLA and have an oasis to enjoy at your home! Highly recommended!
