My boyfriend Michael and I spent a very lovely weekend at Betsey's airbnb. This is a good choice for anyone who desires a more authentic neighborhood experience and a place more removed from the tourist hubbub. It was exactly as the picture shows on the website and the neighborhood was eclectic and quiet, very friendly. We didn't see Betsey or Jack, but were in contact with Betsey through text or email if we had questions. The space was cool and quiet, which was very nice after biking or walking in hot and humid New Orleans most of the day. A kitchenette had snacks, fridge, and coffee maker, as well as utensils, cups, and plates. The bathroom was very functional, tub/shower, lots of fluffy towels, toiletries, and hair dryer. Overall the place was spotless and very nicely decorated, which added to the comfort level. We spent much time in the immediate neighborhood and ate at the suggested restaurants--The Joint was great for barbecue, Booty's Street Food, Bud Rips, and groceries at Mardi Gras Zone. Very lovely park across the street for sitting and reflection. Crescent Park was nearby for riding or walking along the Mississippi too. Reasonable walk or bike ride to French Quarter or Frenchman Street. Great birthday meal at Three Muses (with music) on Frenchman Street. We also biked to the Garden District one day--great way to see the city too. Loved the bikes and so glad we decided to use them because the bus didn't come that day.
Felt safe in this neighborhood and people were extremely friendly and down to earth. Overall relaxed vibe that was greatly appreciated.
