I picked Alison's place for a 2 months stay because (1) I wanted to experience New Orleans like a local, and (2) because the rate was very attractive. The place was actually better than on the pictures. it is a very large studio with high ceiling, very well equipped kitchen, and very nice bathroom. It is well decorated and feels very homey. The little outside seating area is also very pleasant. It is a few blocks from Oak street where bars, coffee shops, and restaurants abound. it is also a few blocks from the Carrollton Green Trolley that gets you downtown. The neighborhood is very quiet and I felt safe and never witnessed any safety issue at all.
Allison is the sweetest Airbnb owner I have ever met. She welcomed me with a seafood boil, took me out to have $1 oysters, and often brought me food that she either cooked or brought from a restaurant. She gave me so many recommendations of places to visit, to go eat. I felt completely at home and I was sad to leave. I highly recommend.
