Returned late last night from our trip to New Orleans, and felt compelled to write a stellar review for Kristi and Todd asap! My boyfriend and I were in town for the weekend for a wedding. As a Louisiana native, I have been to New Orleans many, many times and decided to book this place to explore a neighborhood that I hadn't really experienced before. When we arrived, we decided that the pictures didn't even do the house justice... it was so cute and funky! Immaculately clean, and had everything you needed within reach. The location is great. The streetcar goes past the front door, City Park is beautiful and right across the street, the French Quarter is a super easy commute, and coffee, food, and cocktails are all within walking distance. The neighborhood is alive and fun- we stumbled upon several little festivals and parties with food and music just within one weekend. We also felt very safe.

Todd and Kristi were excellent as hosts. As airbnb first-timers, we felt a little funny initially staying in a place that was on the property of someone's home. Those thoughts went away pretty quickly. They mad sure we knew that they were always available if we needed something (Todd even graciously drove us to the wedding), but they were never intrusive. We definitely felt as if we had our own little space in this cool corner of the world. 1000 times better than a hotel.

Wish we could have tried a few more of the food recommendations Todd had for us. There are just SO many, and so little time. However, I will say that we tried Parkway Bakery, which is just up the road from the house, and boy was he right... those po boys were GOOD!

If this is on your Wish List for places to stay in New Orleans, I say book it! I just hope it is still available the next time we come back :)
