I'm from NOLA and visit frequently and so have stayed in many Airbnbs. This time--I'm in love. I have never stayed in a better location in NOLA. The neighborhood, steps off Magazine Street, is the most sought after in the city. Within several blocks is almost every amazing Uptown restaurant one would care to dine at, not to mention a ton of downscale bars you shouldn't miss!
And the streetcar--blocks away. The apartment is a traditional shotgun, well equipped for a week or a weekend. It feels so local, so authentic it almost made me cry. If you want a slick, soul-less gut rehab, this isn't your place (been there, done that). If you want the best location in real NOLA--this is it. Big G, the host, is gracious and welcoming (also super interesting) and Msg. went out of his way (believe me!) to make my stay great. I can't understand why this place isn't booked every day of the year. I'm looking for flights right now!
