We had the most amazing time at Francoise's lovely home in Uptown. It's truly a hidden oasis in New Orleans! The room and en suite bath are decorated with beautiful art and make for a great space in which to stay. Sheets and duvet were super clean, the towels thick and plush, and the entire space is a designer's dream. We parked right in front of the house and never used our car since the bus stops a 1/2 block away on Magazine St. and takes you to Canal St. where it's about a 15-minute walk to the heart of the French Quarter. (Tip: Buy a $3 jazzy pass from the driver and ride for 24 hours anywhere in NOLA on buses and street cars - it was awesome and affordable!). Francoise was an attentive host but not obtrusive. She communicated well and made us feel very welcome in her home. Her little dog Zoe is adorable and we loved hanging out with her as well. We enjoyed chatting with Francoise on her lovely patio surrounded by tropical foliage and fountains. We ate breakfast each morning at the outdoor table and she even treated us to amazing croissants from La Boulangerie down the street and offered us great coffee at the house. Plenty of good food and bars within walking distance; there's a Whole Foods about 20 minutes walking distance as well. Francoise was fine with us leaving snacks in her fridge, too. McClure's BBQ a 1/2 block away was tasty for an easy and cheap dinner. We also enjoyed craft beers at Courtyard Brewery a bit farther away. This area of NOLA felt very safe and walkable. We felt like we hit the jackpot with this Airbnb and would highly recommend Francoise and her home.
