I don't know how AirBnB chooses its "super hosts," but Melissa definitely is one. She went out of her way, repeatedly, and at least once a day, to make my experience of NOLA everything I hoped for. She will respect your space if that's what you want, but she is warm and friendly and gracious, as well as extremely helpful about the practical stuff of your stay, getting around town, and some insider info about the city. Oh! And her house is funk, totally cool and authentic; the Bywater neighborhood is hip (filled with colorfully painted houses and great restaurants); and the Crescent Park trail is just a few blocks away, which makes for an easy 20-minute walk to the Quarter. I didn't drive my car while I was there, and used Uber only once. Otherwise I walked and took the street car to everywhere I wanted to go. Staying at Melissa's place is a great way to experience the uniqueness of New Orleans--and make a good friend. I've stayed in several AirBnb spots, and this was, by far, my best experience yet.
