As my first Airbnb experience, I'll admit that I was a bit apprehensive that I'd regret my decision to stay in the home of a person I'd never met before. My concerns were allayed by Erin's email and text communications before my arrival. When I arrived, Erin greeted me warmly and explained that my room wasn't yet ready (which made sense because it was only 10 am) but that she was happy to hold my luggage and put it in my room when it was ready. After a day at a meeting at the Convention Center I returned that evening to find my room was a great home away from home. Although the room had it's own entrance at the rear of the home, potential security concerns were allayed by motion-activated lighting and the barking of neighbor's dogs next door. The room featured a comfortable bed and attractive, funky neovictorian (I make no claim that this is an actual design concept) decorating. The private bathroom was nicely appointed (although the water pressure was less than I'd have liked--but that's to be expected in places like NOLA whose water pressure isn't that great). I appreciated the fan and the white noise machine. I usually sleep with a white noise machine and/or fan, so this made me feel right at home. So, too, was the occasional noise from Erin's family. While some folks might find the occasional footsteps, thumps (I presume from toys being dropped) and voices distracting, as a single traveler, I appreciated knowing I wasn't alone. The neighborhood was like many in New Orleans--it looks worse than it is. While at first glance nearby buildings which may appear unoccupied or decrepit aren't a threat. While I might not have wanted to walk around by myself late at night, I felt perfectly safe coming and going by myself as late as 9 pm. The Canal Street trolley is about 3 blocks away and an easy way to get down to the French Quarter, Convention Center and Warehouse District. The trip to the end of the trolley line (by the French Quarter) takes about 30 min. It's a short (d be fine for two people, too. I think an infant would be nicely accommodated, I think toddler-and older kids would be too cramped (and might find too many opportunities for mischief).
