This was our first big vacation, first trip to New Orleans, and our first experience using an AirBnB. Chris’s home was so welcoming and comfortable to come “home” to after long days spent across the river! We had a lot of fun here experiencing this new city, and Chris left us a sweet welcome note upon our arrival! Our silly selves couldn’t get the door unlocked right away as we’re not used to keyless entries, Chris came over right away to let us in (at 930 at night!). We enjoyed the drinks and snacks he’d left for us and some of the cool games too! The bed and pillows are heavenly comfortable and made getting a good nights rest great.
We chose this spot because it is not right in the city, but across the river allowing us to have a quiet and peaceful stay.
Because this location is across the river and we did not want to try city driving/parking. Instead we purchased a 5 day ferry pass ($36 for two people total) or the ferry is $2 each way. I’d also recommend purchasing trolley fares as this helps you get off your feet (we walked 30 miles in 3 days!). You can also Uber but we found on average to go a couple miles these cost $16-$20 each way-I like to save where I can.
I cannot say enough good things about this place! We loved everything about it, and Chris’s talented artwork gave it a much more personal touch. Thank you for your hospitality and again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! 💚💜💛
