I had a choice to make before going to New Orleans: Stay at a known hotel chain or be adventurous and stay at an AirBnB for the first time. Staying at Jeb and Scott's place, AKA Voodoo Villa, was truly wonderful. My flight was delayed due to weather, but that certainly did not prevent both of them welcoming me upon arrival. They took the time to point out the amenities and use of electronics/internet, bathroom (that Jacuzzi is awesome!) etc., and then took some extra time acclimating me to the city on a detailed city map, pointing out local favorites, places to go and things to see.
Some may be concerned that Voodoo Villa isn't in the center of the French Quarter, but truly, the walk there is only about 10 min - and there are Uber / Lyft drivers all around for those who don't want to walk. (Side note, it rained quite a few days while I was there and the walk still was enjoyable). In addition, being removed from the hustle and bustle afforded some peace and quiet and great night's sleep in that very comfortable bed.
They were very responsive prior to my arrival and throughout my stay and truly made me feel "at home". Given the choice again, I would certainly choose Voodoo Villa.
