i have been a pretty regular user of airbnb for many years because i know how important where you stay is. out of the many many times that were good i can say there are a small number of people who hosted me that became the highlight of my trip and for sure Betsy is one of them. i did my homework and read reviews and picked her place after seeing so many positive words and im glade i did. from arrival communication was super nice and welcoming. this is my 4th time to New Orleans and and my first to stay in Midcity and it is gorgeous!! the kind were you just walk around and smile because its that pleasing to see. her house sits on a street with the most beautiful trees and greenery. Max the cat is extremely polite and his gentle greetings where always much appreciated. her home is colorful and cozy with big windows showing off the nature outside with nice neighbors strolling about. the most important thing for me is to feel comfortable when your staying at a place because i can feel very awkward quickly otherwise....but from the moment i got there i felt at ease and warmth. through out the trip i made friends with Betsy and it was so sweet to on occasion be able to have a super fun, funny and nice person to chat with after some adventures. she help ramp up my outfit for a costume party i went to and i definitely know that staying with her was the magic ingredient that made my trip all i could ask for and more. i will for sure be back to see her, Max and her lovely home again! xo thank you so much!
