First and foremost - this is a SAFE and QUIET neighborhood/rental but close to everything you want to be close to. There is plenty of street parking and I didn’t worry about my car.
The hosts are friendly and attentive and have really put a lot of thought and effort into their studio and have made it comfortable and have it well stocked in anticipation of renters’ needs. (Iron & ironing board, coffee station, the light switches are labeled so you know what each controls, etc.)
The studio was very clean. The bed and pillows are comfortable and the sheets were soft. We didn’t use the sofa bed so I can’t speak to that.
My favorite feature was the guest book. There are two as one is full. They are filled with recommendations from previous visitors, what they did and the favorite aspects of their trip. It was such a thoughtful idea! Ive never stayed anywhere that had a guest book before!
We were only here 4 days and will need another week just to see everything we wanted to see… can’t wait to come back and will absolutely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.
One last reason to pick this AirBNB is that being a studio and attached to someone’s home, you’re not displacing a local person from his/her home. In some neighborhoods like Treme, people were evicted to turn apartments where locals have lived their entire lives into AirBNB properties displacing already economically challenged areas and making affordable housing even more difficult to obtain. This property is not one of those apartments and you can stay here with a clear conscience.
