We were the first to book with Petite Suite on Crete. Although there were no reviews at that time, we decided to take a chance and stay there for 8 nights. This was our first experience with Airbnb and what a wonderful experience we had! WHAT A GEM! This place is immaculate both inside and out with its own little patio. Maria and Jeff are the perfect hosts and gave us many suggestions on what to see and do in New Orleans.
We drove from New Brunswick, Canada, so with private off-street parking, this was a bonus. Instead of driving downtown, we took advantage of the transit system. There is a bus stop 3 blocks from the unit and the fare is $1.25 each way (exact fare required) or you can do as we did and get a daily pass for $3.00 each which gave you unlimited travel within 24 hours on the bus or street cars. The bus ride was about 15-20 minutes and it took you straight downtown to Canal Street, within 3 blocks of Bourbon Street. The pass also gave you unlimited free access to the street cars and we would highly recommend the St. Charles Street Car which is the oldest operating street car in the world.
We found Petite Suite a great place to stay. Part of the neighbourhood appeared sketchy at first but we had no concerns when walking back to the unit late at night from the bus stop. The unit had everything we needed for our 8 night stay in regards to cooking, bedding and bathroom supplies. As others have noted, it does not have a TV, but with so much to see and do in New Orleans, one does not have time to watch TV.
Thank-you soooo much Maria and Jeff! We definitely recommend this place and we will be back again to visit New Orleans and stay at Petite Suite.
