We just arrived home after a five day stay in New Orleans, one of the most charming, friendly, and inspired cities we've ever travelled to. The Rive Chanson played a huge role in that impression.

Just a few minutes east of the French Quarter, this accommodation was everything we hoped for and more. We've stayed in a number of airbnbs over the past few years and in every case there is a thing or two unlike expected, but that is not the case here.

The place looks and feels every bit as nice and inviting as the photos suggest. Spacious, clean, with everything you need in a kitchen, nice white linens and towels, and a lovely bathroom. There are also a couple of great guide books and maps to flip through, a great personal guide book provided by Jane and Chris, and fast / reliable wi-fi for Internet use.

It was very hot when we were there, but this unit is plenty cool with AC, perfect for an afternoon break / pit-stop / siesta and perfect for sleeping at night. The unit also comes with two bicycles, which were a huge perk. This made quick access to all major attractions possible. And at night, a quick cab or Uber ride was a cinch. As for nearby attractions, there are a handful of fantastic Bywater / Maringy restaurants and bars, all within walking distance, all of which can be found in major guidebooks as must-see / must-eat kinds of places.

As for Jane and Chris, we can't say enough good things. From our first message exchange, to our arrival, to any questions or tips needed while there, to our departure, Chris was extremely prompt, helpful, and just plain friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better host.

This rental is a winner all the way. We plan to return to NOLA again at some point and will most certainly be looking to stay here again if available.

Thanks Jane and Chris!
