When we first pulled up, I was a little nervous and didn’t know what to expect because there are a few cosmetic issues outside. After a day or two I was better able to see and appreciate the authentic beauty of the architecture and New Orleans vibe. If you’re expecting a lush contemporary condo this may not be for you. However if you want to feel like you live in The Big Easy Dins place is perfect. There is a lock on the gate and a pin pad lock on the door so I felt very safe. Inside we had everything we needed. We loved that there was a coffee bean grinder so we had extra fresh coffee every day. The apartment feels very homey with comfortable furniture, and an eclectic mix of old and new throughout. The bed upstairs is the best. It was so comfortable. I hated to get out if bed each day, but very much looked forward to a great nice sleep after long and exhausting days exploring everything New Orleans had to offer. Don was very responsive and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. The A/C worked great and was welcome with the heat and humidity. Upon booking, Don gave lots of recommendations and information about the area. My husband and I have started using AirBnB for all of our travels. We have always had good experiences, but this was our favorite. We just felt like we could live there. It felt like home. The only thing I would change if I could was the height of the stairs after the landing. They were a little steep for my short legs and bad knee but boy oh boy that bed was worth it. And hey maybe it helped me burn off a beignet or fried oyster. If we are in the area again, Dons place is our go-to.
