This was our first Airbnb experience, and it was quite good! I definitely recommend staying in Mimsie's Historic Carriage House. The neighborhood is quiet and takes it easy in the evenings, so it is a welcome place to find comfort and relaxation after a busy night in the city.

The home itself is small, but very cozy. Two bedrooms offer comfortable beds and window units to keep you cool (and provide a little white noise). The beds were large, perfect for couples or for folks who like lots and lots of space. They were soft and clean. If you need extra sheets or blankets or pillows, there was a closet with extras. In retrospect, I believe we could have benefited from bringing our own pillows, as we are accustomed to firm, fluffy pillows. Pillows are definitely a suggestion for folks who have specific needs (neck or spinal problems, etc).

The kitchen was very small, but had everything you needed-- sink, stove/oven, fridge, plates/cups/silverware, and trashcan. There was no microwave, which meant that you would need to either eat your leftovers cold or heat them on the stove or in the oven. There is a coffee pot and coffee. (We chose to get our coffee out, as there are many lovely spots in New Orleans for delicious food and cold coffee! Magazine Street has some good spots.)

The bathroom could get a little stuffy, but overall it was perfect. Great shower pressure was a win-win for sure! If you're visiting New Orleans in the hot summer season, a cool shower will set you right for sure. Plenty of towels, wash cloths, and even some soap/shampoo if you forget your own.

The washer/dryer came in handy. We were able to wash the towels we used and throw a few of our clothes in for a spin. Definitely very appreciated.

Over all, we highly recommend the space. Plenty of room for multiple people to sleep if you are traveling with family or friends. The couches were cozy enough for someone to snooze on too. Lovely little porch/backyard, and a nice little balcony where you can see the sky and a few rooftops.

We had a fantastic trip! Thanks, Mimsie and Mike!
