I usually don't write reviews but I have to say that I was very pleased with my decision to book the Rose Room with Catherine. This was my first time using Airbnb and my first time in New Orleans. Since it was carnival season and NBA All Stars Weekend the hotels were ridiculously priced. I heard about Airbnb from a few co-workers and I inquired about the room 1 week prior to my arrival. Catherine and I messaged each other a few times and by the end of the weekend I booked the room.

When I arrived I was given a key and escorted to the room I would be staying in (the building is a duplex and they use one unit for Airbnb). My room was clean and quiet and my bath towels were folded neatly on the bed. There was even an I love NO tote on the bed with Mari Gras beads :).

I had access to the full kitchen which had coffee, english muffins for breakfast and King Cake. There was a dry erase board on the kitchen wall with a list of activities/events that were going on in the neighborhood and general NO area.

The location was ideal, no more that 20 minutes from the Airport and two blocks away from the Canal Street Car line- an easy commute into the downtown area of NO.

I planned to take a taxi to the airport in the morning, however the evening before my departure, Catherine extended an offer to drop me off at the airport, which on occasion is able to do if her schedule permits.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself in New Orleans and my stay at Mid-City Magic. I would have no reservations in recommending Mid-City Magic to anyone who's visiting the NO area!
