Joshua’s place may be one of the most comfortable airbnb’s we’ve stayed in. It’s rare to find comfortable beds in any airbnb, and we were so relieved when we layed down after a long travel day. The garden and seating areas with Colette the cat also made our stay in the city much more relaxing.
The immediate area that the room is located is safe, but if you venture farther north it can get a little sketchy. The French Quarter with all the action is a 10-15 minute walk south, but there are good restaurants and an artsy vibe immediately around in Marigny as well.
The River room looks out over a main road so there is some road noise, but the thick walls kept most of it out. Bring earplugs if you're a very light sleeper. Also the shower has low pressure and takes a while to come up to temp.
Josh was very easy to communicate with and a great host. I would definitely recommend this room to anyone looking for a place to decompress in New Orleans.
