Kathleen's spot worked out perfectly! I stayed by myself here for one night as I had come into town early to explore before a friend's wedding. Kathleen was very welcoming and a great communicator. The bed was super comfy. I went to a great spin class 3 blocks away in the morning and came back to a homemade latte by Kathleen which I enjoyed on the sunny backyard porch. I felt totally comfortable and was able to get everywhere I needed in 5-15min Uber (5min Uber or 15min walk to Garden District, 15min Uber to French Quarter). I would definitely stay again!

Sharing more details since this is a new listing and I highly recommend Kathleen's spot:

SPACE: First of all, the space is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos - it's a gorgeous residential street with old New Orleans style houses and the inside is a brand new renovation of a very old house so there's lots of character. The kitchen and living room are bright, clean, and airy. The bedroom feels very secluded and calming. The bedroom and very large bathroom are in their own separate wing, so there's plenty of privacy. Bed is very comfy, shower was great (I wish I had tried the big tub!). I then stayed at the Ritz Carlton for the rest of the wedding weekend and Kathleen's place felt just as nice and luxurious. Large space so it would be easy to stay here with two people. I also loved the sunny backyard patio - I hung out here with the delicious latte Kathleen made for me in the morning and did some emails before heading out to explore for the day.

HOST: Kathleen was so warm and welcoming. A+ Airbnb host. Very easy to communicate with and easy going. She was incredibly accommodating with a last-minute booking and let me leave my luggage after check-out while I explored for the day. A highlight was the incredible latte she made for me after I came back from a morning spin class :)

LOCATION: This is a nice residential neighborhood two short blocks to Magazine Street (main drag). It seems like safety is an issue everywhere in NOLA even in nice neighborhoods like this one. The location worked out great for me. My New Orleans friend's mom was wary about me going back here by myself at night but she might have been over protective. I felt totally safe walking around here alone during the day (beautiful old plantation mansions). At night, I just got an Uber back and asked them to wait until I was inside.

On Magazine Street, there are cute boutiques and restaurants. CycleBar was a great spin class 3 blocks away. I spent my day here exploring the Garden District (Commander's Palace, cemetery, Columns Hotel, Magazine Street). If you want to be in the French Quarter mostly, this is 15-20min Uber away, but I loved the local, relaxed feel here and walking to Garden District.
