We were on the run from Hurricane Irma and stumbled onto this gem of a property that became our New Orleans home for several days as we waited for news from home. This wonderful home will always have a special place in our hearts.
As one other reviewer noted, the particular block where the house is located is definitely "industrial" as there is a large machine shop across the street. But it is part of a larger residential neighborhood with friendly people all around, and a pleasant 5 minute walk to Magazine St and all its shops and restaurants.
The house itself, which is on the second story, is airy, open, colorful, funky/arty, with high ceilings, big rooms, beautiful bedrooms, a gigantic bathroom with tub, and a good kitchen. Oh, and a sprawling outdoor balcony/deck that's perfect for reading, partying, barbecuing, etc.
Our gracious host, Mia, gave us a wonderful welcome and made sure we had everything we needed.
At first glance, this property was "edgier" than our several previous AirBnBs, but in many ways it was the best. We were hooked after 5 minutes and look forward to staying there again. Thank you, Mia, for a great experience!
