We have stayed in airbnb places all across the country for the past several years - all great experiences. BUT - we would put our stay with Michael at the very top of the list. First and foremost is the place itself. Host Michael, an avid art collector, has completely filled his place with a wide assortment of art - most with a NOLA flavor - along with great artistic and comfortable furnishings. It all combines to create invigorating, stimulating, and comfortable atmosphere that was perfect for our 5-day stay in NOLA. Michael himself was very friendly and accessible - he clearly loves NOLA - and he was the consummate host. The neighborhood was quite nice - very walkable - and Surrey's (two blocks away) has what is called the "best brunch in town" by the alternative newspaper. You can't go wrong staying here - a perfect place for your NOLA experience.
