We've been to New Orleans a few times and between Airbnb and hotels, this was one of the best places we've been.

Margaret was more than gracious, but it's her apartment that was the more than accommodating. It's the little things: the water bottles in the refrigerator, the make up wipes, the wi-fi and the cable. Cleanliness counts too and her place is impeccable.

The neighborhood is beautiful, lush and historic with amazing homes around. It's a short walk from the budding scene on Freret and a few minutes from the eclectic shopping on Magazine St. We managed to get to and from the Quarter without any trouble or time too.

We hope to be back soon and we only hope that we can plan far enough in advance to make sure we stay at Margaret's place again.
