Melvin is an outstanding host! My parents and I really enjoyed our stay in New Orleans thanks to Melvin. He gave us some great suggestions on resturants and various places to go and things to do (and provided a printed, laminated guide with his suggestions in the house on the fireplace mantle). The accommodations were charming and spotless! We loved the look and feel - very antique especially with the counter bar stools, and claw foot tub. The water was boiling, the wifi signal was strong in all parts of the house, Melvin provided a Keurig, sugar, community house k-cups and powdered creamer of the same brand; the kitchen was also equipped with all the necessities like dish soap, towels, rags, utensils, pots, pans, plates, cups, bowls, trash bags. The washer/dryer worked well and was convenient to have available; we did a load of laundry during our stay and used the laundry detergent provided by Melvin. The Airbnb was super close to everything we wanted to see, from the French quarter to Bourbon St, all within walking distance or just a short ride away on the trolly. We will be back! Thank you again for your service, Melvin, and for your hospitality (: -- Many thanks from Amy, Mark & Lin
