I absolutely loved this place!! You can expect everything that is written in Darleen's description. The pastries she provides as a welcome are both bomb and the perfect touch to enjoy with the complimentary coffee. She was very welcoming and extremely accommodating. My flight arrived way before check in and she was kind enough to allow me to swing by for a quick drop off of my luggage which was a HUGE convenience. Darleen made herself available to answer all of my questions from the moment I booked all the way through to check out. As a first time AirBnB traveler her attentiveness impressed me and gave me much confidence in my decision to book this studio. The neighborhood itself is very cute and felt safe. The St. Charles trolley is about a 10 minute scenic walk and takes you as far as Canal Street which is where you want to be. I had tickets to see the Saints v Cowboys game at the Superdome and that too was on the trolley's route. You can also opt for the Magazine St. bus line to Canal which is all but 3 short blocks away. Magazine St itself was cute, with an array of retail and coffee shops, restaurants and bars. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing stay in NOLA this is your spot. However, if you want a more rowdy scene it may not be what you're looking for. I would stay here again in a heartbeat just because as a solo traveler, I felt safe and accommodated. I was far enough to just relax in a cute and quite space but equally able to party it up in no time along Bourbon, Frenchman and The Quarter. Safe travels y'all!
