The Antebellum House is a true New Orleans gem. Every inch of the house has a story to tell and is steeped in a rich, beautiful history-- from the mirrors to the paintings to the antique coffee grinders to radios and coal caddies. If you're looking for a place with genuine historical charm that is away from the tourists and loud Bourbon street crowds, look no farther! Both my boyfriend and I wish we could have stayed longer just to hear Keith and Art tell more stories about the house and Louisiana history.
We stayed in the 2nd-floor suite area (not the Bordello room shown here) and it was more than we could have asked for during our 4-night stay. Crawling into bed after a long day of conferencing or walking around town was like getting a giant hug (we slept in so much because the bed was so comfortable). The rooms are spacious, sparkling clean, and full of so many objects of historical wonder.
Keith and Art are exceptional hosts that represent what Air BnB is all about. Keith greeted us at the front door when we arrived, showed us our abode for the next few days, and was more than happy to entertain all my curiosities about the place and its history (yes, history nerds, this place is for you!) He gave us fantastic advice on where to go for cocktails and food, and we always looked forward to chatting with him and Art at the end of a long day. Staying with them was the best part of our trip to New Orleans, and we can't wait to go back!
