Stay here!!
MiMi is the BEST host I've had with Air BnB. The place is clean, private and incredibly comfortable. The backyard is a delight. I spent two hours sitting outside on the little patio with a cup of coffee, talking to MiMi. She's incredible and her home is centrally located - a ten minute drive from downtown/Bourbon Street.
This was my second trip to NOLA. I wanted to step outside of the French Quarter and leave the tourist traps. MiMi sent me to an adorable Cajun Cafe, Cafe Dauphine, two blocks from her home. My fried, crab-stuffed catfish was sinfully delicious. Her home is two blocks from the levy, which offers a great view of the skyline and a nice green line for a run or a walk.
She also suggested I take the ferry from Canal Street downtown to Algiers Point, a beautiful historic neighborhood. I walked around for an hour, admiring the old, ornate homes and then took a glass of wine from a local bar onto the ferry for the ride back to the East Bank (downtown NOLA).
I can't tell you how enjoyable MiMi made my trip. You will not regret staying at her home. I hope you'll make time to talk to her. She's an absolute joy.
