If you have a large group visiting New Orleans, do yourself a favor and stay here at Matthew's Airbnb. I came to New Orleans with 12 friends for my bachelor party, we all slept very comfortably in this space. Besides the four beds, in each of the apartments there are large comfortable couches, a futon, and enough air mattresses for anyone else. The suites were immaculate; clean, with more fresh linens and towels than we could use in a weekend. Matthew was the ultimate host, communication was a breeze and he was accomodated our group's scattered arrival times. When we arrived at the house there were water bottles, beer, and snacks stocked in each of the refrigerators. The hospitality was above and beyond what a normal host would provide and I can say this was unequivocally the best Airbnb experience I have ever had.
The location is perfect, easy walking distance to the French Quarter and near many of the attractions of the Garden District (primarily Magazine Street) on our list to visit. Around the corner is Lula's, a distillery reataurant with bottomless vodka and brunch Saturdays. After you're done there walk out of the restaurant and onto the St. Charles Streetcar to catch a ride to Canal and access to Bourbon Street.
Some other highlight stops on our trip were a (free) distillery tour of the Sazerac House on Canal Street. Dinner at Pascal's Manale (arrive before your reservation to enjoy oysters, shucked in front of you at the bar), and an In-shore fishing charter in St. Bernard's Parish.
If Bourbon street is not your scene, been there and done it at the Mardi Gras in college, Check out Frenchman Street for some great bars and live music.
Seriously I cannot recommend Matthew's place enough. Have the time of your life in New Orleans and start by booking here.
