Kaylen's home was lovely. I loved how open everything was once you got inside and it was extremely clean and well stocked. As a sometimes host myself in Brooklyn, I appreciated the nice toilet paper, the fresh towels, the extra linens, everything. I came to NOLA with my mom and her fiancé, who are both sober, so it posed the necessity to have a quiet and comfortable place to chill once the nightlife got going. Kaylen's place was perfect for that. The back porch and backyard were great spaces to relax. An uber or lyft trip into the French quarter will only run you about $8 so leave the cars parked.
we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, it was quiet and quaint and easily accessible to the important landmarks. I will definitely be coming back with my alcohol friendly friends to enjoy bourbon street and when I do, I'd prefer to stay at Kaylen's. Mike was also very helpful and texted us about the events taking place in the city and where we could find costumes if we wanted to join. He was quick to respond to texts and it felt great knowing someone was there in case we needed anything.
One thing, though. This is not a reflection whatsoever on Kaylen or the listing but a quick tip for those parking your cars outside the residence: make sure you are parking your car with traffic on the side of the street you choose. We had friends come from the Bayou for a night and the GPS lead them to the street where they just pulled in to park across from the Airbnb, but were against traffic and got a ticket. no big deal but it's something none of us had thought of, even one of the contractors working on the house across the street got a ticket as well!
again, amazing stay and Kaylen and Mike were incredibly accommodating. can't wait to come back!
