Four nights to visit family
We really enjoyed our stay in late May. It was hot outside, but the AC had no trouble keeping up. The decor is super cute and there are so many thoughtful touches. The games and the balcony space are great for family time. It's an old house, with some old house quirks, but nothing that caused any inconvenience. My one recommendation is that if you need a dark room to sleep, bring an eye mask as the street lights keep the bed rooms bright. We'd stay here again.

Perfect NOLA getaway location!
What a wonderful way to visit NOLA. The apartment is beautiful and Brandi is an amazing hostess. She thinks of everything (as evidenced by the Brita in the fridge)! Such a fun and convenient place to call home during our stay. Convenient to magazine street and the garden district, including the street car!

We know New Orleans very well and have stayed in many rentals over the years. This is one of my favorites! Here are the some of the categories in which it stands out: location, comfort, friendliness of host, design, and so on. I would definitely stay there again!

Fantastic location, comfy A plus
For those who want to avoid the insanity of downtown but still have a wide variety of dining and drinking options, I can't recommend Brandi's place more strongly. Old school but comfortable, convenient to the streetcar, with a balcony to boot.
