If you're reading this review, you've already seen the pictures that don't do the splendor of this guesthouse justice. It is spacious, open, modern, wonderfully located, clean and stocked with enough water to beat any heat and/or humidity and counter any hangover. Some hosts put they have essentials available and it simply is hotel size soap or lotion, but not Brad and Bret. They had us covered with bug repellent, lotion, first aid kit, a wealth of towels and more. We honestly could shower three times a day and not run out! This location has so much to offer and I honestly struggled with being home enough to enjoy it and being out enough to enjoy the city. I didn't even go in the private backyard and really enjoy the newly installed deck and the hammock (that's on my list for next time). This location isn't a place to rest but the place to be.
While this location was better than expected, the hosts were the best feature of my stay. Brad and Bret were ultra accommodating for my party of three. When we first arrived, we chatted with Brad for hours. I felt like a friend came to visit. It was so engaging and genuine that I no longer felt jet lagged but rather eager to go out and explore a city that stole my heart month before. We shared a friendly rivalry over the NFL season opener and countless laughs. I had to remind myself to stop texting Brad after my stay, because I know he has new guests to host, but I adored his personality. No text went unanswered and I never felt awkward asking any questions.
Everything was perfect about our trip and it all started with booking this airbnb. Every year, 6 month, however quickly I can return, I will be staying in a property owned by Bret and Brad. Thank you guys! You, your home, and Nola are terribly missed.
