Louisiana Luxe is a very nice location if you're planning a trip to New Orleans and want to be close to the action, but don't want to stay in the touristy French Quarter area. The rental was in a very nice neighborhood and walking distance to Magazine Street and a very short ride away from the French Quarter, Bourbon Street and Frenchman Street.
The owner met us at the residence. He was very nice and gave a short overview of the home, neighborhood and suggestions on nearby restaurants. There are also nice slippers available for guests.
As we began settling into Louisiana Luxe we did encounter a few drawbacks.
- We were staying for 3 nights and realized there were only two full sets of towels. For two guests. There is no washer/dryer available. I did message the owner and he said additional sets were in the closet. We could not find them.
- It seemed as if the residence hadn't been rented in a while. Even though the owner told us that the cleaning service had just left, there were quite a few dead flies on the window sills, in the bathrooms and on one of the beds.
- The unit has clearly been updated. The kitchen and bathroom are very nice, but there are some areas that seems to have been overlooked.
Overall, the location is nice. I've traveled to New Orleans before and will again. This is the first time I used a VRBO. Next time I'll go back to staying in hotels.
