Ashley’s space - Biscuit’s Bungalow - exceeded our expectations by far. It is a clean, stylish, quaint, and quiet space in the heart of everything New Orleans. The space is perfect for a single or couple and soooooo comfortable...we found it hard at times to get up and get going because it’s just that dang cozy. It was a really hot week in New Orleans, but the HVAC (a/c system) works like a charm even on the lowest setting. I loved everything about the space and can’t imagine a better spot to be in when visiting.
The location is in the heart of everything New Orleans has to offer! It’s conveniently located right off Magazine Street - so many good spots to eat, drink, shop around, etc. Getting around is a breeze - we are avid bike riders so we rented bikes through their “Blue Bikes” program which is hosted by Social Bicycles. There’s several docks in the neighborhood and you will always be able to find a bike. The city is so flat...we biked and walked everywhere - didn’t use the public transit once but it is easily accessible. It’s about a 15 minute bike ride to downtown New Orleans where you can experience Bourbon St., Frenchmen St., loads of museums and cultural venues, great food, lots of music, etc. We even biked to the Bywater (about 4.5 miles) to visit a few local gems. Absolutely perfect location to get a true New Orleans feel!
As for Ashley, our host, she is, by far, the best host I’ve ever experienced. From booking to checking out, she made sure to respond to any questions we had about our visit. She gave us great recommendations (thanks again for the bike share rec.!) and didn’t hesitate to greet us and share some good info upon our arrival. She takes good care of her space and her guests and it certainly shows. If we ever find ourselves in NoLa again, we will be booking her space, no doubt!
Ashley, thanks so much for making this trip so wonderful! We really had an amazing time and hope to visit again. Cheers to you and Biscuit!
