We stayed for a week at Laverne’s Airbnb and it was exactly as pictured. Everything was decorated for Christmas and it was adorable. We had great water pressure, comfortable beds, and pretty good internet. Oh, also plenty of towels! Kitchen had all your basic needs but you might need to get a little creative with tools if you plan on cooking frequently like we did. Laverne was also incredibly accommodating about making our pup feel at home with a dog bed and bowls for food and water.
If you’re working remotely, Wi-Fi was fairly well, though we did have unexplainable drops the first 2-3 days. None lasted more than a few minutes but it was cumbersome during our video calls. I would also recommend having your own solid desk setup. The dining table is only big enough for my partner’s setup and the bar top didn’t end up working great for me ergonomically. I ended up macguyvering a setup with my laptop mount, lap desk, and the ottoman in front of the couch. Finally, the back bedroom is next to a neighbor’s yard where they tie their dog up outside most of the day and barks pretty unhappily and constantly throughout the day, which was both distracting and sad. This is not the Airbnb’s responsibility, I’m only mentioning because it was a distracting factor during the day.
Working quibbles aside, I want to be clear that this is a fantastic value Airbnb if you’re looking to see the sights in NOLA, especially with a car. If you’re mostly looking for a place to relax throughout the day from checking out the amazing city, you’ll have a really hard time finding a better value Airbnb.
