This gorgeous historic house is super comfortable, has a stellar location, and has a ton of extra little bonuses that make it an even more comfortable stay for longer term visitors. We stayed for 5 weeks, with both of us working remotely from the Airbnb and had everything we needed!
Some of my favorite touches:
-A private vine-draped garden under a huge oak tree, with a firepit
-Steps away from the bayou and walking distance from the best part of City Park! Miles of walking and running trails from here.
-Walking and biking distance to some of the best hidden-gem restaurants, pubs, and coffee shops in all of New Orleans!
-Bikes! The adorable beach cruisers (with helmets and a shed to keep them dry!) made our stay so much better. Since we flew in, we were able to get so much farther on bikes than we could have on foot, without having to call an Uber for everything. This Airbnb is at the intersection of 2 long greenbelts that connect you to the French Quarter or elsewhere without having to bike in traffic.
-Huge, fully equipped kitchen with acres of granite counterspace
-A big desk for remote work, and french doors that open into the garden. We loved to leave the doors open and watch thunderstorms from this room!
-A SmartTv so you can easily sign into all your favorite streaming services.
-Both beds were super comfy with lots of good pillows
-Deep soaker tub with jets!
-Lawn chairs to take up to the grassy lawn by the bayou to enjoy a beer or a book
-The neighborhood here felt safe and quiet. We had zero issues in our 5-week stay.
-Very close to streetcar lines and buses
-In house washer and dryer for when that humidity sets in and you sweat through all the clothes you packed
-Biking distance to the gorgeous parks along Lake Pondchartrain
-TUPPERWARES! THEY EVEN HAD TUPPERWARES (No airbnbs ever remember tupperwares)
Honestly, I could go on forever. This Airbnb is so beautiful and well-equipped, and Lucy and Maggie were the perfect hostesses. We've been coming back for 1-to-2 month stays for seven years now and this is our favorite Airbnb yet!
