Ms. Sheila truly epitomizes Southern hospitality. There is not a better Airbnb host you will find! Not only was she an attentive and friendly host, but she also helped make our trip outstanding outside of accommodations. I HIGHLY doubt our visit would have gone as well as it did if we had stayed anywhere but Ms. Sheila's. ***HOSPITALITY*** We arrived at this place on Christmas day, and Ms. Sheila left a Christmas gift for us- sparkling cider and Christmas necklaces! There were also many snacks, and a large pack of water bottles. Additionally, it rained quite often during our stay in New Orleans, and Ms. Sheila bought us umbrellas and ponchos straightaway. Every time we needed something, we would text her and she would respond almost instantaneously. ***HOUSE*** This house is so comfortable and so capacious. Immediately when we arrived, we were in awe of how spacious it was. This place brings you back to the 1800s and simply transforms your experience. Though Ms. Sheila has certainly modernized the furniture and decor, the atmosphere of the place is just so homey and historical. Ms. Sheila also made sure there were adequate amenities for all our needs. ***LOCATION*** The location of this place is so convenient and close to all the places that were on our go-to list. Right in front of her house is the Louis Armstrong Park, which is a historical park and home of the famous Congo Square. The French Quarter is a short walk away from the neighborhood where this house is located, the Treme. From the French Quarter, we could walk to pretty much anywhere on our list! ***PERKS*** Ms. Sheila popped in on the second and last day of our stay to tell us about the history of the house, city, and her relationship with all of it. Her brother, Shannon Powell, is a renowned jazz drummer and he played at Preservation Hall in the French Quarter almost every night during our visit. There were lines down the block for his performances every night, and Sheila got us all reserved seats for free! The performance by Shannon and his group the night we watched was hands down one of the best highlights of our trip. When she had time, Ms. Sheila even took us to a few not-your-typical-tourist spots, like the site of the arrest of Adolph Plessy from the court case Plessy vs Ferguson and a local art gallery, Studio Be. Whenever we revisit NOLA, we will definitely be staying here at Ms. Sheila's!
