We absolutely LOVED staying at this beautiful, classic New Orleans shotgun house in a truly authentic and convenient location full of warmth, character and characters. The wood floors, fireplaces and high ceilings are to die for. It's a very cool and affordable place to stay, and the hosts are wonderful, thoughtful and helpful, yet completely unobtrusive so we had plenty of privacy ... as if it were our own house. The bed is beyond comfortable and all the linens and extras are first class. The handy book with guest suggestions is a fabulous guide, so use it! The location is A+, close to everything, with many places to enjoy on foot... from grand historic mansions and Magazine St. shops to breakfast joints (like Molly's Rise and Shine, close by) and fantastic restaurants, fun local bars and funky venues with great music, our choice in the Lower Garden District/Irish channel neighborhood gave us a full New Orleans experience. It would be easy to park a car at this Airbnb, but we skipped renting one and got a 3 day Jazzy Pass for the streetcars and buses instead-- a real bargain, available at Walgreens--and we also took cabs and booked Ubers easily when needed. We went to NOLA for New Years Eve and a Saints game, but we did SO much more, with zero hassle. We ended every night on the front porch, which was both entertaining and relaxing. If you want an un-touristy but convenient, fun and memorable place to stay with all the amenities, Anne and Rebecca have created the ideal place to launch your adventure. We felt right at home and hope to stay there again, and will recommend it to all of our Austin friends.
