My wife and I had a fantastic stay here! Judy is a cordial and informative host who is eager to engage with guests but who is also happy to let you go your own way. I can't say enough about the location. The Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans is both exciting and authentic in its own right, it is also easy to take public transportation to Downtown and the French Quarter. Magazine Street is half a block away, and it has many, many nice restaurants, coffee houses, and nice shops. Likewise, you can catch a city bus ($1.25) about two blocks away, and the bus will take you to Canal Street, a block from the French Quarter, in about 20 minutes. The street itself is quiet and the whole Uptown neighborhood is calm but hip.
The room is large, well appointed, and has a huge bathroom. There is a wonderful garden in back with a porch to enjoy it from. Guests have a private entrance and full access to the garden. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, some nice cheese, and other goodies in the in-room fridge. We got a light, but wonderful, breakfast each morning--croissants or pastries with butter, jam, and coffee and/or tea.
Judy and her husband are both artists, and this is evident in the decor and the garden. It is a warm, interesting, and comfortable space. The bed was really comfy and the huge private bathroom includes a whirlpool bath and skylights.
This was by far the best airbnb we have stayed in, and my wife and I plan on returning again soon.
