I stayed at Brittany’s place for a week with my parents (who have never stayed in an Airbnb) and brother. I was so impressed by how thorough and detailed the guidebook was that Brittany sends you electronically before you arrive and provides you with a hard copy upon arrival. Her house was absolutely beautiful and nicely decorated. It was just enough space for my family of four. We did not meet Brittany but she was very responsive via email, and emailed me to check in with us several times. She also provided water and light snacks. Hospitality and professionalism are a plus for Brittany!
As far as the neighborhood is concerned, it is an older neighborhood with classic NOLA style shot gun houses. To be honest, we were a little skeptical at first because there are some abandoned houses. However, all of the neighbors on the street were friendly and spoke to us. We felt very safe and ultimately we appreciated getting an authentic feel of what life in NOLA is like outside of the French Quarter.
This house is in a very residential area and is not super close to touristy areas or restaurants within walking distance. However, the St. Roch Market is a quick 5 min drive down the street for food. All of the main attractions of the city are within a 15-20 minute car ride from Brittany’s house.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brittany’s house. My parents were impressed with their first Airbnb stay. We would definitely stay there again!
