We are new to the Airbnb experience and let me tell you Miriam set the bar HIGH for any future Airbnb we stay at! (expect in NOLA because we will be trying to stay with her!!!) From the day I booked with Miriam she was beyond friendly and helpful! The fact that she had such a flexible check in and out time really helped us out of towner's/partiers ;) Everything in the city that we could want to do was no further than 15min. And we felt safe enough at her home to leave our motorcycle parked out front with no worries while we went and enjoyed NOLA. The home was fixed up beautifully and the snacks & drinks that Miriam left for us was a pleasant surprise. There was PLENTY of towels and even extra toiletries in case we had forgotten any of ours! She called to check on us and make sure we were doing alright and that we made it home safe! If I could give her above a 5star rating I would! There was 6 of us in our group and we all had plenty of room to hang out together and still not feel like we were on top of one another. The home is basically the one on the corner which makes it super easy to find when your coming back late and not 100% sure where you are in the dark! The neighbors (the few we saw) were friendly and relatives of Miriam's. It was nice to go to another town and still feel at ease and not like we had to watch our back and/or worry about anything. Especially since Miriam was only a phone call away! We will be trying to stay in one of her Airbnb's for Mardi Gras!!! Thank you again Miriam for the wonderful experience in NOLA! See You soon! xoxo
