Staying at Joshua and Will’s home was magical! At the onset and onward Joshua and Will communicated well and made us feel so welcome. Will stood out on the sidewalk in the heat waiting to greet us when we arrived from the airport. We stayed in the River Suite; they had the air con on and running so the room was nice and cool when we arrived; the fridge was cool with water in it. The suite was immaculate., bleached white towels, clean linens, comfortable bed, Roku with mounted TV to watch to help wind down at end of busy day for sleep. When we arrived, Will sat down with us and drew out on a map (which they provided on the desk in the suite for us to keep!) where we were interested in going and how to get to places — he spent a generous amount of time making sure we had whatever information we sought. The location of this Airbnb is phenomenal— there is a grocery store and coffee shop exactly across the street — super handy (grocery store opens at 6 am and closes at 9 pm) — you can get wine, beer, pop, fresh fruit, coffee, hot and cold deli items, salad and soup bar, all at the grocery store. Super convenient after traveling to hop over and stock up on a few items for your stay! Then there is a well-known pharmacy chain store less than a block away down the street. Very easy to get to anywhere from Joshua and Will’s home! Highly recommend downloading the RTA GoMobile app before your trip to purchase online “Jazzy Passes”, $3 a person per day of unlimited bus, ferry or canal street car rides. The buses going in every direction stop less than a block away from Josh’s place! Super easy to navigate with the app’s “Trip Planner” feature; just show your pass on your phone to the bus driver when you hop on. And…you can bring your to-go-cup cocktail on the bus with you any time of day! Go to the Ruby Slipper on Burgundy Street for breakfast or lunch — fried green tomatoes are out of this world and the service is fantastic; great Bloody Mary (award-winning) easy walk from Joshua’s as only a matter of a few blocks. We used Benard Transportation for shuttling to and from the airport — Reuben Benard provides reliable transportation, he’s funny, happy and will communicate with you instantaneously — just google to find his number! It was such a treat to enjoy Joshua and Will’s gated backyard retreat with the hot tub, several table/sitting areas to include a gliding wooden swing; they even have adorable lights, painted murals, a running fountain, and beautiful plants of all types, many flowering! Even an installed fan to keep you cool and relaxed, positioned near the hot tub table in the very back on a wall. It’s just perfect. One reviewer made a ridiculous comment about noise from the street at this Airbnb — this is simply not at all true. We were in a suite who’s door opened right onto the street and we never heard a single thing, not once. The door is solid, thick wood. As a matter of fact, it was surreal to open it in the morning when we were leaving to realize just how much action was happening on the other side of our door as we heard none of it from the inside! Lastly, Will and Joshua’s home is completely safe — not once did I feel in danger or concerned. They have electronic locks on the suite’s door that operates the deadbolt and another one on the gate going to the backyard oasis, as well as outdoor security cameras, which really is just an extra-duty precaution from what we experienced; Will and Joshua have spared nothing in making this the best Airbnb in New Orleans — we talked to many people who complained about the locations they were staying in, while we were ecstatic for having chosen Joshua’s and Will’s place and we told them all so! Staying here would be the best decision of your trip; if you’re able to find availability, book it while you still can. We were so thankful and grateful to have done so. Thank you, Will and Joshua!
