This was, by far, the best experience I've had with Airbnb. My husband and I stayed here for 9 nights in March 2021. We "worked from home" for 3 of those days and were on vacation for the remainder. We booked the trip somewhat last minute and were deciding between Leigh's place and larger lofts in the Warehouse District. We are SO happy that we stayed with Leigh. Including the main reasons below.
Location: perfect. We came without a car and were THRILLED by how walkable this area is. We took a few Ubers during our stay but for the most part, walked everywhere. There are great restaurants super close (~10 minutes) on Magazine Street. On some days, we'd even walk ~60 minutes in either direction to end up in the Bywater or Uptown / Audubon.
Size: as mentioned in other reviews, the unit is small. The bedroom is perfectly sized with a king bed / TV and the living room/kitchen is quite small. That said, it could not be better organized. I've lived in studio apartments in NYC and WISHED that they had Leigh's layout - every square inch of the unit is designed with purpose. Given that we were working for 3 of the days during our stay, my husband and I would take turns working on the couch vs. front porch. This worked fine. I'll also note that there's a coffee shop pretty close called Mojo with free wifi // ample space to work and take calls. I did this most days.
Misc: Loved having in unit laundry and a full kitchen. We did laundry multiple times and appreciated having access to a fridge and plates/cups for takeout on busy days. Also felt very safe in the unit - the unit has a front gate w/ code & unit security.
Hosts: amazing! Incredibly thoughtful and kind people.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and I'd highly recommend the experience.
