You just won't find a better spot in New Orleans than Paula's Gem in the Riverbend.
I've stayed in many Airbnbs in New Orleans, and across the country, and i will tell you the secret to the best experiences- the right owner. Paula is just that. Her spot, which she has crafted, remodeled and tweaked with enormous and painstaking care over the years shows it's upkeep and thoughtfulness in nearly every corner. The amenities are fantastic and the comfort level is A+. The aesthetics are overwhelmingly pleasing and the ease of use and desire to make her guest happy shines through it all. It's rare that I give an A++ rating, and it is only reserved for those Airbnbs that exceed on the last level- which is ownership. Paula is what makes her space the best it can be, and while she will give you all the space you need, if you are lucky to visit with her, she will add to your experience a great deal more than just her space. She's genuinely concerned for her guests, their experience, the space she provides, and the value it offers.
I encourage any traveler weary of French Quarter lodging to venture uptown and stay in Paula's 5 star retreat. It truly is that, and it is she who gives it the last star.
