We loved staying at Brendan's airbnb. We love history and the fact that it's an older place; it's very quaint. It's extremely close to Magazine street which hosts many restaurants, bars and coffee shops so it's easy to find things to do. The local area feels very safe, we felt very comfortable walking around and even made our way a few streets down to the St Charles streetcar line where we were able to jump on in the morning (if you're unfamiliar with the system/area they do have a 24 hour pass). The only downside we encountered was the air conditioning, there is no temperature control in the living quarters and both nights it was very very cold. The second night it was colder inside the house then outside in early December. I easily handle upper 60s in my own place but the second night I had to sleep with extra clothes and the extra blankets to stay warm. Regardless, we loved staying here and would still consider it in the future.
