This AirBnB is exactly as pictured, and the place was clean. It was about two blocks away from the Louis Armstrong Park, which is nice if you like to walk around and breathe in fresh air in the morning. It’s close proximity to the French Quarter also made it worthwhile, as it was close, but not too close to the chaos and debauchery on Bourbon Street. It’s a quieter part of the neighborhood, which we appreciated. No need to Uber/Lyft as everything was walkable. Save some $$$.
For those who need a caffeine fix: there’s a cute coffee shop just right down the block.
We came the first week of April and it was humid outside for the first two days and the weather became cooler after a heavy rain. As the a/c is centralized, we had to contact Lanay a few times to adjust the cold air. She was sweet to offer to buy a space heater, but once the a/c was turned off, it felt much better. If it’s cooler outside, the ceiling fan is your friend.
This is definitely a spot where you sleep and go out and about to explore all the things NOLA has to offer.
P.S. if you love cats and are lucky enough, you will see two cats named Gingy and Jimmy Doo Dah. They live in the house (closed off from the actual AirBnB), but will appear in the backyard (entrance of AirBnB) once in a blue moon—my bro saw them once during our 4-day stay. They’re extremely adorable!
P.P.S. If you play Pokémon Go, this place touches a PokeStop.
