From the very first hello to the moment where I bid a heart-felt goodbye, I felt so much warmth and hospitality the entire time. Leron and Dennis are amazing hosts with an incredible space. (You should def stay with them and ask them the story about the place.) Not only were they attentive to my needs, but they were even willing to answer any questions that I had and were very knowledgeable about the area and things to do. The walk to the French Quarter from their place is about 15-20 minutes -- perfect if you’re the walking type -- and if you’d rather cab it, it’s only a $10 ride. For those of you that plan on bringing a car, there is plenty of street parking. (If you DO decide to drive to the Quarter be sure to do it earlier in the day where you have access to the free unlimited parking. That way, you’re not driving around for 20 minutes trying to find parking where you’ll have to move your car every two hours.)

The apartment itself is super clean and very open. (You can trust the pictures.) A couple could fit easily in either room. For those of you that need to catch up on a little work while you’re here the internet is pretty fast. While that’s true -- and the fact that there’s satellite cable with a bajillion channels in the living room -- you should know that you’ll be better off planning on being out all day an exploring. the city. After all is IS New Orleans. :-)

Leron and Dennis are generally home bodies, and assured me time and time again that if I wanted to enjoy the night, I could and it wouldn’t bother them. Not once did I feel like a burden, a bother, or an “extra person. “ While I was there, there was another couple in the other room and the amount of attention that I got didn’t waiver. To that end, these great hosts went a little beyond the call of duty and showed me around a rainy French Quarter and made my few days in NoLa an unforgettable few days.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for comfort, cleanliness, and a welcoming atmosphere, go ahead and book the space.

This was my first time using Airbnb and I told myself that if this was a good experience I’d never stay in a hotel again. Well...if I can stand it, I will never stay in a hotel again. It’s easy for me to say that I came as a guest and will be leaving as a friend. Leron and Dennis, thank you so much for everything. I’ll be back...
