Having never visited New Orleans before, I was happy to find out that Barrett's home is within easy walking distance (20 min) from the beating heart of the city. You first get a bit of a shock as the house is on a road that sits just under an overpass of a major highway and holy cow the road noise is pretty loud for anyone wanting to slumber on the sleeper sofa but thankfully the bedroom in the rear is insulated from most of it and offers a comfortable place to lay your head. The kitchen/dining area is well appointed although we didn't use any of it due to wanting to eat everything in the city. Walk, shop, drink, eat, and repeat. I appreciated the welcome snacks Barrett left out for us too. I was worried about parking too in a city such as New Orleans but there was plenty of space just in front of the house and it felt safe under all those underpass lights. If one isn't predisposed to walking, getting an Uber to the front door step is super easy, even at random late hours of the morning. Nevertheless my greatest advice to anyone staying here is just park your car and leave it for the duration of your stay because you can walk around town faster than navigating the congested streets by motor vehicle. Barrett was also kind enough to stop by and point out some nice places to visit on the map, and I was thankful as well to have his recommendations on his Airbnb guidebook to find some neat places we would have otherwise missed. Thanks Barrett!
