My girlfriends and I stayed at Lauren's airbnb for a girl's weekend trip to NOLA. This was my first time visiting the city and the charming design and vintage aesthetic of this listing just added to the experience! I love Lauren's eye for style and details she has incorporated throughout--the entire apartment is filled with fun and funky antiques (such as antique instrument cases or an old type writer) that really give a New Orleans flair! I especially loved the fireplaces in each room. OH and the clawfoot bathtub (IN LOVE!). The whole place just feels home-y and inviting.
The apartment itself is laid out in a long line of rooms (perhaps this is called railroad style??), and does require you to walk through a string of bedrooms to get to the back where the kitchen and bathroom are.--so just be aware of the layout in case you're looking for total privacy in each guest bedroom. Your friends will have to pass through of they get up to use the bathroom at night ;)
The space itself is spacious and filled with light with tall windows and ceilings. It has a deck/patio in the back with string lights that you can sit out on. Lauren has thought of EVERY detail you could need--even a cute jar of earplugs for light sleepers like me. ((Those could have been put out just for Mardi Gras weekend as the neighborhood and neighbors next door were very quiet. We had zero trouble with noise. :) ))
The location was great for us--easy to Uber to downtown/popular tourist areas of the city within 10-15 minutes. Check-out and check-in were super easy with the keycode lock.
There was some pretty major construction happening on the street when we stayed, and Lauren was super gracious and helpful, working with us over messenger and treating us to dinner as a reimbursement for the inconvenience caused by the street being blocked off. She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with--overall just a lovely host with a lovely and charming apartment to offer!
I am already looking forward to coming back to New Orleans and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend 100%!
