My husband and I visited New Orleans for a week for Jazz Fest and to celebrate my 50th birthday. Staying at Nic’s place made us feel almost like locals. Unlike the sterile, “un-lived in” feeling some Airbnbs have, this space truly feels like a home away from home - and authentically New Orleans. From the welcome note and bottle of wine, to the books and art that fill the space, we settled in and relaxed from the moment we arrived. The location is perfect for enjoying the city - centrally located and an easy Uber ride to all the different areas that combine to make New Orleans such a great city. The fairgrounds and Jazz Fest are an easy, safe 10 - 15 minute walk away, and City Park and the upper Esplanade Avenue area just another 5 or so beyond. The neighborhood feels residential and relaxing, and beautiful oak trees line the streets. Nic and Steve were super friendly and available if needed, while also respectful of our privacy and autonomy. We plan to continue to make regular visits to New Orleans, and we’d love to stay here again when we do.
