This was my very first experience with Airbnb, and it was great! I stayed in two Airbnb's during my week-long stay in NOLA, and this was the first. The Okra Inn was a wonderfully quiet and peaceful place to stay, and a perfect place to explore parts of mid-city and the park. The streetcar to the French Quarter was a short walk away and super easy to take, but I rented a bike, which was the perfect way to get around the city from the inn.

Lindsay was super generous in letting me drop off my bags in the morning on my first day (my flight got in by 10am), and let me keep them there until I had to check into my second place. The room was lovely and sunny.

Chat with Lindsay! She has a wonderfully gentle demeanor and the sweetest dog, Honey! I really enjoyed talking with her and Beth, an Okra Inn regular, on the porch one morning. They both gave great suggestions of things to do in the area and were so fun to chat with. I only wish I got to go on one of Lindsay's swamp tours while I was in town!
