My husband and I met our son and his wife in New Orleans this last weekend. We were delayed because of traffic, we were not going to meet our agreed "check in" time. It was no problem at all, Garret was there waiting for us when we finally made it, and best of all he had some local craft beer waiting for us also! He and our son had a lot to discuss about good local beers, our son was appreciative. Garret was also VERY knowledgeable about local bands, again, our son, a music nut himself, was VERY appreciative as we were able to see an outstanding performance that we would not have know about without Garret's advice. Garrett spent quite a bit of time making sure we were acquainted with their home, the neighborhood and New Orleans. Their home is exactly as pictured, very clean, bright, inviting. Beds were comfortable.
The neighborhood is nice, we felt very safe walking to the local restaurants and bars.
The best thing for us was being able to wake up and visit with our son and wife, to enjoy our coffee together. This would not have been possible if we had stayed at a hotel in separate rooms. We had our private space and our shared space.
Our first experience with air bnb was definitely positive, will definitely do this again!
