Lauren & Brian's home is in the best neighborhood in New Orleans, Bywater. I loved vintage shopping at the Bargain Center and digging through jazz records at Euclid. I was sad to miss drag brunch at the Country Club; make reservations in advance!!! Bacchanal Wines across from the end of the world is another must-visit. I walked downtown to the French Quarter along Crescent Park or took the 88 bus to Louis Armstrong Park, which stops around the corner at Claude & Clouet Sts. Lauren helped me figure out the NORTA app to pay for public transit and check schedules.
The Satchmo Suite is a tribute to jazz legend Louis Armstrong, with beautiful posters and eclectic New Orleans decor. I really appreciated the fridge, water pitcher, and Keurig machine to self serve my mornings after. The shower was hot with good water pressure. I have a Purple mattress at home, so I'm picky about beds. I was very satisfied with the comfort and quality sleep. Finally I appreciated Lauren & Brian's proactive, clear and detailed communication about check in and other aspects of my stay. I was able to follow their instructions and get in easily despite arriving late. Wonderful stay, wonderful value, wonderful hosts. I recommend this Airbnb highly!!!
