Out of all the Airbnb's I've stayed in, Neil & Nancy's place has got to be my favorite. The space is even more beautiful in person. A perfect blend of New Orleans history and modern amenities. We were given keys to the side entrance to the courtyard which we appreciated since we didn't have to tiptoe through the host's home when returning after late nights. As mentioned, the bathroom is downstairs in the courtyard so I recommend bringing flip flops since you will need to go outside. The courtyard was a perfect addition to the space, we loved starting and ending our days here. There are draped lights in the courtyard which offers a great ambiance at night when reflecting on our day, sharing drinks with our downstairs neighbors (another Airbnb guest), or getting some work done. My only concern was that unlike the courtyard bedroom, the balcony room did not have a lock on the door. However, nothing was stolen and I felt very safe staying here.
The space is also very conveniently located - only a short walk to Magazine Street or a 20min uber ride to French Quarter. It was the perfect escape away from all the bustle of Bourbon Street. Additionally, because Margi Gras World is right across the street, you can utilize the "Hop on/Hop Off" bus tours and get dropped off right at the door!
We will definitely look for availability at Neil & Nancy's when visiting again! Thank you so much!
