Our stay in NOLA would not have been complete without staying in Joseph's beautiful and welcoming retreat. The pictures almost don't do justice to the serenity of the backyard escape; you can't help but notice how mindfully the space is laid out to create a perfect environment for relaxing and communing (the hot tub!). Even though the yard was shared with 3 other residents and another group (also airbnb) renting out the carriage house in the back, we still felt that we had the place to ourselves a majority of the time and any brief interactions were pleasant and welcomed. The interior of the place was also perfect for us. The kitchen was a great, however we did not use it to its full potential as we ate all of our meals out. The only drawback was that you have to go through the master bedroom to access the only bathroom, but that was evident in the pictures and ended up not being too much of an inconvenience since we were comfortable with the other couple we were staying with (4 of us total). We did not see much of Joseph, but the caretaker, Paul, greeted us with delicious wine, cheese, bread, and plenty of advice and direction for beginning our adventure in New Orleans. Highly recommended.
