Great hosts, atmosphere, location and stay
Over the many years we've been visiting New Orleans, we typically stay in hotels within the French Quarter thinking we needed to be in the thick of the Bourbon Street action. In 2013 we planned an extended stay and tried an AirBnB property instead. It was such a great experience, living like a local instead of a tourist, that we decided to use AirBnB again for our recent visit.
This led us to Brick and Chris's apartment instead. We can't have asked for a better stay. Brick gave us a great welcome, showed us around the apartment and left us to settle in. The apartment is charming and cosy (but spacious), ideal for a couple, and perfectly decorated in traditional New Orleans style. Full of amenities and even some welcome treats to get us going.
Their property is in a perfect location for us on the Esplanade, close to Bourbon, Royal, Buffas and Port of Call...but also on the quiet edge of the Quarter, a few minutes walk from the music clubs of Frenchmen St and close to up-and-coming local areas.
Further, on this trip we were driving and Chris and Brick have secure parking on site - a real +++.
On our last night we had a long chat with Chris and Brick about the history of the building, New Orleans and the changes that are going on there right now. A perfect end to a great stay. Thanks guys!
