What other reviewers are saying is TRUE! Donna and her home are wonderful. Our family of 4 visiting NOLA for 6 days was super comfortable in this immaculate, quiet and safe neighborhood steps from Magazine Street. 5 star location! This is the best place we’ve ever stayed in NOLA or with Airbnb. Our considerate host left us ample supplies of everything we needed for our stay—coffee, laundry detergent, great products and more. Great communication. Her place is set up so thoughtfully and functionally. I’m a clean freak Airbnb host and was so delighted at Donna’s standards. We were able to park our car right out front each day.
There’s so much more to NOLA than the French Quarter and Donna’s place is ideal for exploring. She recommended several places to eat in walking distance: Commander’s Palace Sunday Jazz Brunch, Gris-Gris (sit at kitchen counter for the ‘show’) the Deli a minute walk away, and Juan’s Flying Burrito for yummy frozen drinks and great salsas. We also liked the creole/happy hour at Superior Seafood and Oyster—best cornbread and maque choux. Other highlights: an eco-friendly easy paddle with New Orleans Kayak Swamp Tours, the Ogden museum of southern art and the must-see Laura Plantation with their excellent, historically nuanced guides (de plus, on y parle français).
Donna’s place and her city was a wonderful way to spend Christmas!
