Jarrett is pretty much the best host you could ask for – considerate, helpful, and fun! Before my stay he provided restaurant/bar recommendations, parking tips, and clear instructions on what to do upon arrival. When my friend and I arrived, he adjusted the AC to our liking, made sure we were comfortable with dogs before introducing us to his adorable lab Chino, and even thought to pick up some plastic cups in case we wanted to take drinks to go.

His place is comparable to a nice hotel – it’s immaculate and the guest room is actually the master bedroom so you have a private bathroom. As in some hotels, the washcloths are folded into a fan and tucked into a pocket in the hand towels, there is a new bar of soap for each guest, bottled water, and even a miniature bottle of Listerine which I appreciated because I never pack mouthwash but always end up wishing I had it. The pillow top mattress is super comfortable so it was a treat to crawl into bed at the end of each long day. Jarrett’s condo is also in a spectacular location (within walking distance of everything), and he has a sweet 2nd floor balcony that you access by stepping through 10ft. tall windows… perfect for watching the second line!

Lastly, Jarrett is not only a nice host, he is also a fun friend. He took my friend and I out for cocktails, dinner, and weekday night dancing on Bourbon Street and it was such a blast! Good conversation, good food and drink, good music, and good company. This was an Airbnb experience that will be hard to beat – I highly recommend Jarrett’s!
