The host was the best of any Airbnb that I've stayed at; and I've been to many! I'm not usually one to interact with hosts that much, but there was just something about her. Georgia was so personable, compassionate, helpful, and interesting. I felt like we could have been old friends. She has become a draw to New Orleans, in as much as the history, beauty, and entertainment of the area are. We will definitely stay with her again.
As for her home, I cannot say enough about it. Built in 1858, and decorated with antiques mixed with some artistic flair, it is a real sight to see. Everything we needed was available and much more. It was clean and well cared for. The location was right across the street from Surrey's Cafe', which had the best roasted veggie omelet I've ever had! It's one of the highest rated breakfast/brunch locations in the area. We walked to Bourbon Street on New Year's Eve too, and I'm certain we got home faster than the drivers did! I think it took us 15 min. and you get to see beautiful old New Orleans homes along the way.
We would have extended our stay if we could have! We are already talking about visiting again this year or next.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention her cats! Georgia has 3 Cornish Rex cats, which we had never heard of. They were kept away most of the time, but we did get to interact with them twice. My boyfriend does not like cats, and I'm allergic. I missed the fact that there were cats when I reserved. While not hypoallergenic, I've read that many people with allergies don't have any reaction, or have a lesser reaction with these cats. That was certainly the case for me...no reaction at all. We both fell in love with these graceful, loving, acrobatic cats immediately and now are planning to get our first pet...a Cornish Rex! :-D
