After becoming vaccinated I decided to take my first trip to New Orleans. Check in was super easy. Apparently the building used to be a newspaper warehouse. That was really cool to read about. It’s a few blocks from Bread On Oak which had amazing breakfast and great vegan options. If you’re interested in touristy areas, the French quarter is a very close walk. I’m not so much into drinking or partying so I avoided that area. The Airbnb was centrally located to everything I wanted to do! Overall, our stay was pretty wonderful. The space has high ceilings, a/c, white brick, some cooking essentials, large living room/dining area. The bed was pretty firm, I ended up using the couch pillows instead of the pillows provided because I can’t really sleep with a super fluffy pillow due to neck issues. The closet was very spacious, the bathroom had plenty of shampoo and conditioner. I thought there were only a few towels until towards the end of my trip I discovered all the extra towels! The rug in the living room was pretty rough looking, but besides that the area was very clean. We decided to avoid the elevator due to wanting to limit our interactions with other folks so we took the stairs which was fine until we saw a dead cockroach. While waiting for my Uber I saw my first flying cockroach outside which was horrifying but after reading about the city apparently it’s one of the most infested cities in America. But don’t worry, absolutely NO cockroaches were found in our living space. From talking to locals, it’s something you won’t avoid no matter where you go. The internet was a little slow at times so at night while watching Netflix it would freeze a bit. On our 3rd day we got a message from our host that there would be filming in the alley which was pretty entertaining and a little loud at times. The host said we could contact with any complaints or if we were uncomfortable with that. Which was really thoughtful! The only issue I had with filming was when we tried to park in the lot (that we already paid for) across the street we had to wait for the filming crew to move their cranes and cameras so we could access the lot. Probably waited 25 minutes before being able to get into the lot, but while waiting the police told us they were filming a Disney show called Ultra Violet and Black Scorpion. With that being said, our host didn’t have control of that situation so it’s not their fault at all. The city is beautiful, the architecture in that area is unlike anywhere I’ve been before so it’s understandable why they would be filming over in that specific area.
