This listing is one of those rare, special gems on Airbnb that used to be the norm: a space furnished with someone's actual trinkets that feel unique and evocative of the area's culture and history—not the same generic IKEA or mid-century modern furniture that's become the boring standard. I could tell immediately that this was (or had been) someone's actual home space. This is not a hyper-curated and lifeless Instagram backdrop.
Incredible location for touristing; in a hip, walkable, yet quiet part of town. My girlfriend and I stayed for a long weekend and did not run out of the essential amenities (toilet paper, shampoo/soap, hot water, etc). The listing is in a semi-detached tiny house behind a classic shotgun house in Marigny. For the introverts out there: the home next to us and in front of us were both occupied, yet we glided through our 4-night stay almost never meeting anyone. The attached wall isn't the most soundproof, so we did hear faint music from the unit next to us several times, but not loud enough to be a bother.
Melissa the property manager was responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Our flight landed late at night, and we were able to coordinate a hands-off check-in in advance.
