There are so so many things I could say about this experience but I’ll try my very best to summarize.
Rachel was so helpful and accommodating. The house. Oh my goodness it’s so beautiful! Every small detail about this home is beautiful. A lot of love has gone into this home. Right when you get there, you’re in a locked steel fence. Rachel assured me it’s not a dangerous area. Just an added safety. I enjoyed knowing that it was there. The apartment has a separate entrance so you never have to feel like you’re bothering the hosts. (Not that I think you would. They were so kind!)
The location of the house is worth all the money. Magazine street is very central to everything that you’ll want to do as a tourist. There’s a lot of fun shops right near the house. There are a lot of food options close. I ended my day two days with sandwiches and beers at “down the hatch” and “garden street pub”. Both nights meeting locals who were very friendly and enjoyed drinks with me. Ruby red slipper was the best breakfast. I went back three times. The shrimp and grits was absolutely the best dish I had while in New Orleans.
I do want to recommend the city sightseeing tours. I paid $40 for a 3 day pass that included 2 tours and brings you right to the cemetery where you’ll want to tour. It’s a hop on hop off bus and the house IS ON THE ROUTE. it picks up less than a block away. With a double decker big red bus I really enjoyed using this! It’s convenient because it goes to all the places you want to check out.
But also the bus line in New Orleans is incredible! Download the app and buy yourself a jazzy day pass. Super easy to figure out.
The bath tub is divine. The art is amazing. The luxury of having a beautiful full kitchen was really something I appreciated. I hope to visit again soon and will definitely try to stay here again. I can’t say enough wonderful things. This wasn’t my first choice on bnb. Someone snagged the house I originally chose. And I’m so thankful. Because this home really made my trip feel so so so stressless.
