We arrived at Voodoo Villa earlier than we planned, completely forgetting about the hour time change from Atlanta. Jeb was able to meet us early and was friendly and welcoming. The apartment is great. It was stocked with some beers, waters, coffee, bagels and a basket of snacks. (We stayed a week, so it was very handy). They also have pots and pans and some spices if you actually do some cooking. We had planned on it, but there's too much great food to try in New Orleans!
The bathroom is fantastic: double shower heads, fluffy towels and some essentials (new toothbrush, soaps, etc) if you forgot something. Comfy bed and pillows, with a tv and DVD player to relax after a long day walking.
Jeb gave us great recommendations about some of their favorite spots. There's also a binder with maps and local information in the apartment.
We pretty much walked everywhere, with the exception of a couple of cab rides to places that were a bit further. If you have a car, there's plenty of parking on the street right in front of the apartment. Driving around New Orleans was pretty stressful (and this is coming from people who live in Atlanta and moved from Miami), so unless you're going outside of the city- walk, bike, cab, pedi cab, or street car!
It's a quick walk to the Quarter and we did it many times and always felt safe. The street the apartment is on is well lit & takes you right into the Quarter. It's also easy to catch a cab a couple of blocks away.
This was our first experience with airbnb, and I don't think we could have been happier. I would recommend Voodoo Villa to anyone wanting to visit New Orleans.
