One of the biggest mistakes that travellers make when going to New Orleans is to concentrate their time in the French Quarter. We ourselves, made the same mistake many years ago. So when we were looking for an authentic less commercial experience we decided to explore the airbnb option and came across Sandy and Jill's listing. Prior to our trip while still in the planning stages we had many questions that were answered very quickly by our hosts. When we arrived check in was a breeze and the unit was exactly as described and pictured online. It was very clean and had a nice open concept feel. The neighbourhood that it is located in offers an historic feel that takes you back in time. Everyone that we encountered were so friendly and engaged us in conversation at any opportunity . The convenience of the ferry to the French Quarter offered efficient service and was a quick walk away. The local pubs and artisans were great, with Old Point Bar offering some of the best musical talent in New Orleans. The best part of staying in Algiers Point are definitely the people but also provides the advantage of coming back to a quiet serene place in the evening to rest up for your next day's adventure. This place is not only 100% recommended by my husband and I...it is a must!
