This beautiful oasis hidden in the middle of the garden district is why I love AirBnB so much. Tamarin and Steve were kind and gracious hosts, and they have created a beautiful and comfortable studio for lucky travelers to experience a short bit of time as a resident of NOLA. They shared recommendations and even loaned us boots and umbrellas when the weather turned bad.
Be sure to walk just a few blocks to the St Charles Street Car to reach the edge of the French Quarter for just $1.25 per person. Charming, safe and convenient. It will let you off right by the fantastic Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the World War II and the Civil War Museums. It’s then just a few short blocks to the French Quarter.
Alternatively, walk a few more blocks past the St Charles to find trendy Magazine Street, or a few blocks in the other direction to a nice little restaurant area anchored by the delicious High Hat which we’re so glad our hosts directed us to.
While the shower was small, and the “kitchen” a clever set up with microwave and mini-fridge, Tamarin and Steve have created a very comfortable, charming and peaceful studio for travelers to enjoy, and which feels very private despite the proximity of the main house. We felt lucky to call it home for 5 very enjoyable nights. Thank you Tamarin and Steve!
