Our experience in Mary’s house and neighborhood was so amazing that it’s difficult to start this review. Maybe the first thing to point out is that you don’t have to be scared by the distance between the house and the French quarter. For two reasons. First, because it’s a short Uber ride for going there. And secondly, and much more important, because Mary’s neighborhood is much more interesting than the French quarter. New Orleans is much more than its most famous quarter. And beyond the crowds of Bourbon Street you’re going to find a much more interesting part of the city. Walking, dinning and listening live music on Freret and Magazine street was what we loved the most of this incredible and unique city.
And what about the house and the room? Simply outstanding. You’re going to live the experience of living in a very beautiful classical New Orleans house. If you watched the TV series Tremé, it will remember you of the lawyer’s house (and if you didn’t watch the series, do it before going!).
The room is big, perfectly clean, well decorated and located on the third floor, so you’re going to feel like if you’re alone. I always sleep with earplugs, but it wasn’t necessary here. What a pleasure to listen the birds in the morning!
Mary and her family are simply charming. Follow all the tips that Mary will give you. She is an excellent connoisseur of the city. Thank you so much!
And last, but not least, they have a loving dog. We already miss Henry!
To sum up: do not think it for one more second and stay here. I’ve been in a lot of AirBnBs all around the world. Do not miss this one.
