Jared’s home was AMAZING! It was much more than we had imagined. We stayed for 7 nights. It was newly renovated, true to the culture of New Orleans and updated for the comfort of long-term stay. From flat-screen FireTVs in each room, to great tea and coffee k-cups, to clocks with USB charges, to the walk-in closet in the master bedroom, to the paintings on the wall; Jared’s attention to detail was manifested throughout his home, and evidenced his commitment to the satisfaction and comfort of his guests.
We were there for a convention, where we walked to the convention center to register on the first day (less than a mile away). Honestly, the home was within 5 miles of every place we visited! Unexpectedly, our convention was cancelled due to the threat of Hurricane Barry, and in response, Jared offered to refund us the remaining days if we decided to evacuate. However, we decided to stay! With the area being unaffected by the storm a few days earlier, and the gas stove; we knew that there was no better place to stay. It was a REFUGE like none other. In fact, we even had two others leave their hotels to come stay with us. In short, the comfort of Jared’s home, combined with the added joy of fellowship, created a situation that we would not change… even if we could. Jared remained in contact with us before, during and after the storm. And as this was my first stay with AirBnb, the next host will surely have hug shoes to fill!!!
