This Airbnb is GREAT and we Loved Penny, the owner/hostess.

We visited our daughter last weekend in New Orleans who lives a few blocks away from this apartment. The apartment is only a few blocks off Magazine St. in the Irish Channel and on the edge of the Garden district.

Magazine St. is a really neat street with lots of boutiques, galleries, restaurants and bars. The apartment is an easy 10 - 15 minute walk to Commanders Palace and St. Charles St. where you can catch the $1.25 street car or bus to downtown, the warehouse/arts district and the French Quarter.

Penny provided a really nice place, lots of breakfast and snack food and bikes for our use. The apartment has a totally separate entrance which enabled us to come and go as we pleased without disturbing the host. It is furnished with cool art and some beautiful but casual antiques and artifacts. The claw foot tub was a relaxing respite for soaking tired muscles acquired after miles of walking and enjoying the nearby sites and architecture. There is a nice courtyard where you can have your morning coffee next to her garden area.

A lifelong New Orleanean, Penny provided many great NOLA stories and offered great tips on places to eat and things to see.

If you're visiting New Orleans and would like to stay in a really cool studio apartment, with a delightful hostess, near the very hip Magazine Street area, THIS is the place to stay.

We can't wait for our next visit.
