This was my first time booking on airbnb and I could not have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend and I loved staying in the more residential Marigny neighborhood while being a scenic walk (or short cab ride) away from the French Quarter. To that end, Pal was an amazing host. She made us feel so welcome and safe and is extremely knowledgeable about her neighborhood, Bywater, and the French Quarter. The room was so comfortable and the amenities included a mini fridge, microwave, cable, and coffee maker. She made it feel like we were staying at a nice hotel, with the warmth of and authenticity of a Marigny home. There were a bunch of wonderful restaurants and bars close by, in the neighborhood, everything from dive bars to fine dining, which made it easy to stay close by when we didn't want to go into the Quarter. The 24-hour Mardi Gras Zone (grocery store/prepared foods) across the street was also a nice surprise and extremely convenient. We will definitely be recommending Pal's place to our friends and would love to stay again on our next trip to New Orleans!
