The only thing cooler than visiting a vibrant, historic city is staying in a place that makes you feel like you're part of the fabric. This is a beautiful, 1860s-era building that is restored and decorated in a way that perfectly captures the essence of New Orleans. The green fireplaces downstairs, the exposed brick, the busts and old-world artwork, the gas-lantern-lit courtyard -- it's all pretty magical.
On top of that, the bed is ridiculously comfortable. The stairs are a bit more narrow and steep than average, so be aware of that if you have any mobility concerns.
It's an easy stroll to the French Quarter, and an easier stroll to Frenchman street to hear the best jazz.
The hosts were incredibly communicative and helpful, always reachable via message or in person.
I've stayed in a lot of charming and unique Airbnbs, and this one ranks near the top. Just book this place. Even though I'll be UPSET if it happens to be booked at a time when I'm visiting again. :)
