My husband and I came to NOLA for the Rock n' Roll half marathon this past weekend. Beverly picked us up from the airport and asked if we had plans set for that night. When we said no she said, " Great! You are coming with me to this wine bar - I have a couple of friends there." This was a great way to get the lay of the land and sample some good NOLA food and drinks. Her friends were great - we went to Frenchmen street, which is an easy walk from Beverly's. We had so much fun that we met up with Beverly Monday night on Bourbon street - which is also very walkable. We grabbed Lyfts from time to time which was super simple.
All-in-all, staying at an AirBNB was not only cost effective compared to a hotel, but we got to experience it with Beverly who knows her way around. She has recommendations for literally anything you would want to do! We'd definitely stay there again!
