As a first-time user of AirBnB, not to mention a first-time guest of New Orleans, Jenna could not have been a better host. She was quick to respond to my requests for more information, and was welcoming from the start. My fiance and I felt right at home from the moment we arrived (including our dog), and found the place charming, comfortable, and absolutely spotless. The heating system worked well for us South Floridians and kept us comfortable even when nighttime temps dipped below freezing.

Prior to check-in, Jenna provided us with some excellent dining and music venue recommendations that were less-touristy and exactly what we were looking for. Still we found the daytime wandering from the apartment through the FQ an easy hike. We didn't use the bikes on account of our dog who joined us sightseeing, but they looked new and in working order.

As for the location, the school across the street, Armstrong Park, and the Treme Coffee shop (literally) next door provides a safe neighborhood vibe. The coffee shop makes one of the best lattes I've ever had and the WiFi worked fine once we had the password.

Take Jenna up on her advice and you'll have a great visit too. The music scene on Frenchman is not to be missed even if you forgo Bourbon St. as we did during our all-too-short 2 night stay. Ditto for brunch at EAT (a 10 min walk - BYOB). The fried chicken at Fiorella's on Decatur is the best in the known universe. Lastly we opted for dinner at Meauxbar a few blocks away on N. Rampart - a newer, classy-yet-cozy French bistro with excellent (albeit pricey) cuisine and service.

To sum up, I'll certainly look for availability at Jenna's place for my future visits to NOLA.
