His place is spacious & modern, filled with just the right amount of furniture so it felt both cozy & airy at the same time. The kitchen has everything in it that a chef could want, & the bed was the most comfortable I ever slept in (I would've taken it with me if I could!).
Emre himself was wonderful, communicating clearly & answering my messages almost immediately. I particularly admire the way Emre corresponded with me when New Orleans was threatened by a storm. He allowed me to extend my stay twice, & when those changes caused airbnb to add an unnecessary additional cleaning fee, he refunded it right away!
An extra added bonus is the coffee shop downstairs, which remains open & faithful to covid precautions, closes before bedtime, & produces soft gentle sounds that I found pleasant & did not disturb me at all. It is totally cool that from the balcony of this apartment you can see the bright red trolleys go by, & also the apartment is located within easy walking distance of beautiful City Park, the small branch of Cafe Du Monde that has recently opened there, & the New Orleans Museum of Art!
My one and only caution is that the stairs to the 2nd floor are dark, so anyone who has difficulty with vision or balance should step carefully & hold the handrails.
Visit New Orleans & stay in Emre's airbnb, I recommend it & you'll be glad you did!
