Hollis was our first Airbnb host and now I think we are spoiled. He was friendly, fun to talk to, and helpful with where to eat - we specifically were looking for the best oysters. We agree with Hollis, New Orleans Food and Spirits in Metairie was great! We ate most of our dinners in Metairie after that because we loved the area. My husband and I felt like we were visiting an old friend and not a stranger. We enjoyed the close proximity to the French Quarter (within a 8 min. drive), however, we didn't feel comfortable walking the neighborhood due to being approached by pan handlers - something I'm not use to. Dan and I would stay with Hollis again. The bed was comfortable, semi firm, and the home was tidy, new, festive, and much bigger than we expected.
