I selected this property because of the price and wonderful reviews. Later, I heard on the news to be cautious of wonderful reviews because scammers were luring victims this way. Scary! I communicated a couple times with Matt and felt much better about the booking. Then we arrived and found that the reviews were genuine and accurate. We were greeted and given a quick tour by Matt's parents, Bruce and Mary. They were lovely to chat with.
We could walk to City Park to enjoy Cafe DuMonde which had a very short line vs a very long line in town. We took the trolley from City Park to French Quarter a couple days. Enjoyed the Hop On - Hop Off bus 3 day ticket to sight see and take tours. Upon Matt's recommendation, we ubered to some spots on Frenchman's Street. We really loved the music EVERYWHERE. Even were able to see Matt perform. Also enjoyed some good food. He has some recommendations at the house.
The house is really comfortable and very cozy. It looks small from the outside but it is spacious. We brought our own coffee to enjoy on the porch, however there was quite a selection for guests to use. Also plenty of bottled water, bagels, mints and beads :) Parking a king cab truck on the street was no problem at all.
The pillows and beds were very comfy. Much better than most VRBOs I've stayed at. The rooms are nice sizes not too small.
I am anxious to return to this rental and stay longer and take in a festival etc.
Thank you, Matt, for sharing your house with us. You have a real treasure there!
