All About That Gumbo is absolutely wonderful!! As a first time Airbnb guest, I didn't know what to expect but hoped for the best. I think I found the best. The little touches like labeled cabinets, night lights, extra blankets, distilled water for the cpap and iron, even a variety of coffee made it very comfortable to be there. The beds are super comfy and everyone slept well. The beds are quite high so short people may struggle a little to get in but that was part of the fun we had while there. Her color choices and décor is unexpected and absolutely perfect for the place. It really is a taste of New Orleans without attending a parade.
Cheryl was very responsive to communications and answered every question I had. She was around when we checked in and she made us feel very welcome but did not intrude in any way.
She does mention in her listing that she has dogs and cats next door but the dogs were never out while we were outside so there was no issue with them at all. Her cats were friendly but not problematic in any way.
Another nice feature was the parking. Parking in New Orleans is a challenge at times so onsite parking was a nice bonus.
I was traveling with my elderly parents and they were concerned about the area based on Google maps street views. Don't let those old photos scare you from this place. The area is being renovated and updated and considering what I saw of the area after Hurrican Katrina, her neighborhood has really improved. I was out in the evening and felt safe and the car was not bothered at all. My parents apologized to me for their skepticism of the location on our way out of town because they realized what a great place All About that Gumbo really is. I am certain I will be returning to New Orleans again and I will definitely be staying at Cheryl's place.
