Booking holiday accommodation (whether AirBnB or anything else) can sometimes be a bit hit and miss. You look at the photos, read the reviews, compare it with other places and then hope for the best. Fortunately we definitely, definitely made the right choice on this occasion.
Before we travelled Amy and Deb had been excellent at replying to any questions and making suggestions ahead of our trip - particularly when it came to how a vegan and a vegetarian were going to eat out in NOLA!
Getting into the place was very straightforward - everything sparkling clean, tidy and waiting for us. Wine and a hamper of goodies, milk in the fridge, teabags, coffee...you get the picture. Lovely bathroom with a great shower.
We deliberately chose not to stay right in the town - we wanted to feel like we were escaping at the end of the day (the neighbourhood was very quiet and we felt very safe) but we also wanted to see more of the city when we travelled into the French Quarter or wherever we wanted to go for the day. There’s a bus stop 2 minutes walk away (buses every half hour) or we used Lyfts (about $10 per trip if you’re near Frenchman St).
Deb and Amy really went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable - lovely people and a lovely AirBnB.
