Very first airbnb experience and it was great. The apartment is at the back of a big old house that Jackson and her partner are in the process of renovating, and the photos here really do reflect the look and feel of the space. I love their taste! So comfy to come back to at the end of the day, make a big fresh salad, and retreat to the upstairs balcony at dusk (yes, there are huge palm trees there and yes, they do swish in the breeze). Check in and check out was easy and I only met Jackson once…she was very nice and welcoming. Other buildings in the neighborhood are in various stages of repair, but it feels safe and is only a few blocks from St. Charles…can get anywhere in town from there. Only minor glitch for me was inability to access the Internet upstairs (worked fine downstairs) (my guess it’s not an issue of the apartment, but maybe some larger infrastructure problems). And of course there are chickens, yeah chickens!
