Location - Perfect. Had we not had plans a couple of our days during our stayed that required us to make some short road trips, we wouldn’t have even needed a car. You can walk to everything. My wife and I are big coffee junkies so every morning I was out the front door on mission to bring back some great coffee. I never had to go more that a 10 minute walk to get what I was looking for. (3 specific different coffee shops). Restaurants, stores including little grocery stops or CVS/Walgreens are just two short blocks away. You are within a less than 10 minute walk into the French Quarters but the accommodations are in a very safe and secure environment. Also, having access to the street car for $3 per day unlimited rides is great and simple. We downloaded the app to find the stops/times and took a few hours to make the ride on the green car towards Uptown to enjoy another great coffee shop.
Accommodations - outstanding. Nothing was lacking. Since the unit has a nice washer and dryer we packed light and reran a few outfights by taking advantage of the w/d. It’s just a great, cozy apartment. The king bed slept wonderful. I am an early riser and my wife prefers to sleep in, so having a living room away from the bedroom was very ideal for us. The unit was clean, relaxing and inviting. We never heard any other people in the building at all. A few mentioned that you could hear the streetcar go by periodically. We loved it and made it part of the experience. Because we sleep with a sound machine, we never heard a peep at night in the bedroom. Don’t let that steer you away if you are concerned about the streetcar. This unit met everyone of our needs 100%. Also, for those who will be driving to this location, there are many secure parking garages within less that a 2 minute walk and our host provided the information and answers we inquired about concerning the parking immediately.
Host- Alice and Scott were some of the best. From the moment we booked our stay, communication was outstanding. To be honest, they make everything simple and easy so needing to reach out to them during our stay really wasn’t necessary. We had no issues with anything the entire Monday-Friday we stayed so we didn’t need their services at all, yet they were great host and what little communication we needed to have prior to the trip were met with quick and precise responses.
This Airbnb, in my opinion scores 5 stars on every category. When we return to NOLA we would only stay in one place and that is Alice and Scott’s unit.
