Originally we had booked with another host for our first time in New Orleans but when we arrived at 3am in the morning after a ten hour drive there was already someone in our room. So we drove around for an hour and a half calling hotels in our price range. We couldn't find a room, everything was booked because of the French quarter festival. Our only option was to sleep in our vehicle. After we spoke to airbnb they told us they were sorry and would remedy any damage that was done. We ended up booking Yera's room and was told we would only have to pay our original price since her room was a bit more. After we settled in we didn't have money for food because airbnb took the full amount for Yera's room out of our checking account and continued to attempt to take it out just about daily. We had to wait to eat till the next day, and to make up for this we were given a gift card for the inconvenience caused to us by airbnb. We didn't let this ruin our first trip to New Orleans instead we made the best of it. Yera was a life saver she was very helpful and sweet. She offered info about the area and she lives close to everything. The streetcar, French quarters, walmart, restaurants and gas stations. She worked most of the time but set out two bottled waters and made coffe from time to time. We really feel like we made a friend dispite the circumstances. Her place was very clean and screamed New Orleans. She really made us feel at home. The only thing we didn't like about Yera is that she didn't come with us to Kentucky.
