I arrived in the city on Tuesday, not knowing what to expect. I left Tallahassee at 7am without a lease signed and any guarantee of having a place to sleep for tonight, not to mention not really knowing much about the house and neighborhood other than what I had heard from others and what few pictures I was able to find on the internet.
All that was swept aside though when I pulled up to the house. Joe, pretty much the coolest landlord you could have, was there finishing some minor things up. He showed myself and one of my roommates, Thomas, around the typical shotgun style house, and we were instantly hooked. All newly renovated, but without any furnishings. Period. For our price and location though, it's unbeatable, and with a bit of patience and work we'll have the place up and running in no time. The picture is in one of the middle bedrooms, and as you can see the house is 100% a traditional New Orleans shotgun.
Beck - love the sliding pocket doors and the transom above the kitchen door.. it probably has glass in it that has just been painted over... and if it opens you might be able to get a good breeze through the kitchen. Enjoy your first week on the job!
