Our stay at this home with eight of our friends was heavenly. The house was spotless and looked exactly as pictured on the Airbnb site. Our hosts even provided homemade red beans and rice (delicious!) and a gift basket to welcome us, plus little extras like new toothbrushes in the bathrooms.

Staying at this home makes it clear why it's such a good idea to venture out of the French Quarter from time to time. The house happens to be just a block away from two of the finest and best reviewed creole restaurants in New Orleans: Clancy's and Patois. It would be a real missed opportunity to stay at this house (or in New Orleans, in general) and not try those two places; we dined at both of them (Patois twice, even) and were blown away by the quality of the food. In this location, we weren't very likely to trip over an over-served tourist on our way out the front door (and never did). Also, our walk from the house to the St. Charles streetcar line afforded us a beautiful stroll through some of the loveliest architecture in the South. Communication with our hosts was prompt and easy. All ten of us in our group agreed that we would stay at this fine home again in a heartbeat.
