OMG, if you don't pick this place to stay you are really missing out! The pictures are EXACTLY what you get. It's the cutest apartment ever. The details are in every corner & we loved it!
We stayed exactly a week during Mardi Gras & here is what we learned; hope it is informative for you & helps you decide where you'd like to stay and for how long.
Hosts: Are the nicest & readily available whenever you need. We got addicted to Matt's texts about local music. He was dead on with every suggestion. After the first day of his suggestions we didn't bother anymore looking on our own. We just waited for his suggestions before we decided what to do in the evenings. He even gave us parade routes the day before the parades so we could plan. Other than that, they did not bother us. They left us to our own devices which we appreciated.
Location: It's amazing. You cross a busy street & you end up on Frenchman St which in our opinion is far superior than Bourbon as there is a lot of live music options & not as crazy/dirty. Our three favorite places to see live music and dance the night away was The Spotted Cat, Cafe Negril & DBA. Then just two blocks from Frenchman St, is the French Quarter. This AirBnB is close to everything yet very quite. The only thing that woke us was the gorgeous sunshine through all the windows and birds chirping.
Must Do's: Please if you can take a day and go to the WWII Museum. It's so well done & a great reminder of the sacrifices everyone in our country made to save the world. The uber/lyft ride was about $10 or you can ride the street car directly there. Either way of all the things to do in NOLA, this is the most important.
Unit: As I said, it's exactly what you see in the photos. I wanted to stay there forever! The only thing I wanted to stress that the hosts mention is if you have limited mobility this might not be for you. I have a little limited mobility and the stairs were a tight fit. I had to navigate one step at a time and couldn't carry my own luggage up/down. The claw tub as well is a big step up then in. I had to hold on to the sides getting in & out. This home is very very old and that's the allure of it. But if you need modern amenities like elevators or modern tub due to mobility, I'd recommend it. BUT! If you can handle these two "old house" issues, then I highly highly recommend staying here.
You'll be so happy you stayed here, we are!
