Diane was above and beyond a great hostess (with the mostess). She is truly a southern lady in the hospitality sense that she wants you to have the best possible stay whatever your needs are. She offered to pick me up from the airport, which is something I was not expecting and ( I'm sure she cannot *always* do but if she can make the timing work out with your flights, she tries to help in this way, which was amazing! ) She made me feel like family.

Word of advice to travelers that want to be staying in the center of downtown, this is not the place for you, although you are an easy 15-20 min Lyft or Uber ride from the action. Great place to stay if you are renting a car, as there is street parking easily available at this property. Also they have two bikes for going up to the lake or park which I took out for a spin. Beware the infamous New Orleans potholes though!

If you are guests that like to stay gone, keep to yourselves or 'do your own thing' thats cool too but there are plenty of other places to stay where you aren't wasting the fabulous and fun experience of getting to know Diane.

Staying here is a priceless chance to see and hear about New Orleans from a local born and raised here who loves to share her knowledge to new visitors. As a solo traveler staying mid week working remote from the pool I found this to be the ideal place to be before moving to the french quarter for the weekend with a larger group.

I enjoyed how welcoming Diane and her husband Koral were to me into their home and how knowledgable Diane was about the city of New Orleans as a licensed tour guide. We sat by the pool and fleshed out the plans of my trip. She has tons of great guide books, maps, restaurant books and more to read while you stay, loved those.

This was the most fun AirBnb experience I have ever had, thus far! Had a great time meeting Diane and Koral and looking forward to going back again very soon. Diane certainly shared her love for the city with me and it was infectious. Love New Orleans now.

Laissez les bon temps roulez!!!
