My friend and I visited New Orleans for the first time and stayed with Joe and Paul. This is the best AirBnB experience I have ever had! If you had to distill the entirety of New Orleans into one home, it would be this one. The house itself is an iconic creole cottage, with vibrant colors, historic charm, and a veritable living museum ambiance. Paul, Joe, and all of their friends were quirky, inviting, hilarious, and full of surprises. The house is spacious and has everything you could ever want. The city of New Orleans was everything we dreamed of and more, but it just wouldn't have been the same if we had stayed anywhere different. We had leisurely mornings on the back patio where we enjoyed the chickens, Treme the dog, and Vivian the cat. Our evenings were sweaty and filled with laughter as our hosts joined us for drinks and adventurous tales. PLEASE stay here if you want to feel like a local. In terms of creature comforts, the beds are awesome, the AC is cold, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the laundry couldn't be more convenient. Bayou St. John (the neighborhood) appears to be about 7 minutes from everywhere. Paul and Joe call the backyard "Project Paradise" and it is truly an ever-evolving space. I cannot wait to come back to see what's changed. One thing I know won't change, though, is the gracious hospitality that made our trip one that we will NEVER forget. We miss y'all already!
