Where do I start? Well… Joshua and Gary were GREAT hosts. The house is perfectly decorated and comes with helpful items like coffee, cream and sugar for the morning. An Amazon Alexa and TV with HBO, Netflix etc for your usage. There was even a freshly filled brita pitcher waiting for us in the fridge.
Right next door to the Airbnb you’ll find a fantastic wine bar/ garden with great live music that’s goes till 10pm (we had such a great time there we wish they played even later).
Right around the corner was a super yummy BBQ spot called The Joint. And we even took Joshua’s recommendation for a bit more of an upscale date night at The Elysian Bar in Hotel Peter and Paul. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Set in a 19th century church, the ambience, staff and food will not disappoint.
Circling back to the home… there was a rope swing in the tree right across the street from the front door of the house. It might not be that interesting to you BUT we had a lot of fun swinging and talking out there, I felt that sense of child like wonder in New Orleans. There is something new around every corner if you’re looking for it. I urge you to rent a Blue Bike around the block and explore the city via electric Bicycle.
The French Quarter may be the oldest part of the city but Bywater is by far the hippest, most culturally diverse and architecturally unique. As a New Yorker, I felt I was in East Williamsburg.
10 out of 10 would definitely recommend booking with Joshua and Gary.
