Heather and Stephen call their offering an oasis with good reason: in the heat of New Orleans’ summer the house was big and cool enough for two families, and the swimming pool was a must. Even our neighbors across the street expressed their “jealousy” for our access to a pool. The description of their listing is accurate, and they responded to questions through the chat immediately. Two “extras” that pleasantly surprised us: the standalone ice maker (I want one!), and the fastest internet I’ve ever experienced on an Airbnb. Location-wise, we found the house to be pretty much between 5 and 15 min away from most everything in town, Metairie on the north, Audubon to the west, Magazine street to the south, and French Quarter and Bywater to the east. Oh, I forgot to mention that the neighborhood is very quiet (in a good way). It was a comfortable stay and would repeat it without hesitation on our next visit.
