Devin's place is FANTASTIC and - by far - my favorite Airbnb to date! The house is breathtaking and his description in the ad is 100% spot-on. The upstairs apartment is beautiful and is the perfect size for a group. My boyfriend and I went with two other couples, and it felt very spacious and private to all six of us. As the description says, we had our own private entrance/exit - it was easy to forget that there is a downstairs floor with Airbnb guests and Devin downstairs because the space feels so private!
My boyfriend and I stayed in the private bedroom with the king-sized bed. The bed was huge and SUPER comfortable and helped us get some much-needed rest after a couple of late NOLA nights! The wooden doors to the bedroom are beautiful and gave us a lot of privacy.
The other two couples stayed in the sleeping nooks, and all of them said that they were very comfortable and cozy! The "nook" beds are full-sized and therefore big enough for two people each, which was the setup we had (with one bed empty because there were only 6 of us). The nook curtains provide a lot of privacy - our friends told us they would absolutely come back and stay in the nooks again!
The living room is comfortable and spacious, and it is perfect for hanging out while getting ready to go out, regrouping after a night out, and anything and everything in between! It gave us exactly what we wanted, and made our stay a lot more fun.
The kitchen is great and had everything we needed! Although we obviously took advantage of NOLA's delicious food options, the kitchen amenities helped us save a little money by having a couple of meals at home - something that I have never really been able to easily do in an Airbnb before.
It might sound strange, but one of my favorite features was the bathroom. It is absolutely beautiful! The claw foot tub is amazing and super relaxing after a late night out!
We loved the location as well! The house is in a residential neighborhood, which gives you a quiet place to hang out in and return home to while also being a short walk away from the jazz bands, fun bars, and delicious restaurants in the French Quarter! Devin was very helpful and responsive to us throughout our stay. He is a really friendly, nice guy and gives excellent NOLA recommendations - we ended up at a couple of cool places we wouldn't have heard of otherwise!
I highly recommend staying in the "Aqua Oasis" - it definitely lives up to the name! My boyfriend, friends and I would absolutely stay there again!
