I needed to be in NOLA for an appeals court hearing (fwiw I am the good guy in this matter!), and I figured it was the perfect opportunity to be a tourist too.
Since I am retired, I wanted to keep the costs down but still find an AirBnB in a perfect location.
Joshua's home was a perfect fit - It was very affordable, it is located just a block from the St. Charles Trolley line, quiet, and very well kitted out.
Josh, and his associate Steve, host the one-bed room in an older house (with a larger AirBnB upstairs) that is full of antiques, books, and fascinating historical objects. But the smaller bedroom is simply adorned for a relaxing space, with a private bathroom.
There's a common space and a large kitchen too.
Josh and Steve were perfect guests. After setting me up in the room, Steve offered several tips for food, tours etc from years in the city. I only met Josh briefly as he just returned from a trip, but he was a great conversationalist.
The only factor of note was my age - The 63 year old me was not the same person as the 43 year old me when it came to tourist stuff. Even though I live in Dallas, the heat AND humidity just sucked the life out of you.
I hit the French Quarter, the WWII Memorial Museum (a must do!), the Cemeteries, and local restaurants. But after the hearing on Tuesday, I pooped out and skipped the NOMA in order to just get to the airport a few hours early.
My attorney is going to book his next trip to NOLA at this AirBnB. It's cheaper than a hotel and still convenient to the courthouse.
I can't recommend this location strongly enough.
And finally - Laissez les bon temps rouler!!
