We try to get to New Orleans at least once a year. This is our first year to use an Airbnb there. We had the best experience to date. Mostly due to this great apartment and location.
Everything about our stay at Joe's place was a pleasure. The apartment itself is beautiful, unique, spacious, and tastefully furnished. We felt like we had a home in New Orleans. The great balcony heightened the whole experience. We were able to cook as much as we ate out, which was a nice balance.
The property is everything I wanted and more - and exactly where I wanted to be in New Orleans. That part of Esplanade is nicely tucked between Frenchman St. and The Quarter. The best of food, music, and city life is within footsteps each direction but far enough away that you don't get kept up all night from the parties.
Joe is a fantastic host. We asked for a couple of favors while we were there. He responded within minutes and helped out without hesitation including loaning us a pot big enough to make red beans and rice.
Can't give this experience, trip, apartment, or host enough stars! Look forward to returning.
