We've stayed in approximately 12 higher-end AirBnB and VRBO locations across the country over the past few years. Undoubtedly, Jules and Roeland's home in New Orleans was the best we've experienced. Where to begin?
- The location: This area of the Garden District was fantastic! Scenic, close to everything and yet far enough from the chaos of downtown. Also, very safe.
- The home: Are you kidding me? It was immense! Clean doesn't even begin to describe it. The details were fantastic and everything was well-appointed. The home had such a wonderful feel to it and we wish we could have stayed longer in this location. The bed was very comfortable and we both fell asleep instantly (which is rare.)
- The price: They could have asked for a lot more; it was a steal for what we got.
- The hosts: I'm saving this for last not because it's "least" but because it is actually most-meaningful. We randomly met Jules and Roeland as we arrived and so we chatted and became acquainted for a few minutes. They are some of the nicest people we've ever met - genuinely nice and kind people. There's a kind of light to them and we wish we had the opportunity to spend more time with them. And that feeling comes across in their home: with the thoughtful touches, helpful communication, recommendations, etc. Jules and Roeland live on the 2nd floor of the home and it made the stay more comfortable knowing the owners were nearby (something we usually prefer, if possible). In addition, while they were upstairs, the sound-proofing in the unit was great and we never heard anything aside from maybe a few steps during our entire time there.
Everything about this listing was perfect and beyond our expectations. Thank you, Jules and Roeland, for helping make our time in New Orleans special; we really appreciate it.
