We loved this place! Truly an Urban Oasis. It was clean and spacious. The property is huge! We found the garden enchanting and enjoyed the fire pit on a chilly night. With ceiling fans we didn’t need AC when it was warm and the heaters kept us toasty when it was cold. The host was thoughtful and checked in to make sure we were comfortable, which we were.
I know there are some previous negative reviews and I think this is more reflective of the reviewer than the property or location. But if you have never visited New Orleans before please do your research before booking- if you are expecting a flawlessly manicured garden district experience you should book accommodation in the garden district, and you will pay a premium for it. This area may be less kempt but it is not unsafe; the neighbors are friendly and if you say hello they return the greeting. If an overgrown garden bothers you book elsewhere- but nowhere else will you find the treasures this vast garden holds, fruit trees and fish pond and stage and fire pit! The chickens and roosters were part of the charm for us. And you can walk to convenience stores and restaurants- the host has excellent recommendations and even though he was out of town, his housemates next door were lovely and hospitable. I’m an Airbnb host myself and I give this a 5 star rating for an excellent experience- I would not hesitate to stay again.
