THE HOST: Firstly I would like to talk about the host, Catherine, she is a 5 star host no doubt about it. From her warm Southern welcome, to the helpful suggestions on where to eat, drink and be merry, detailed notes on transport and the extras like breakfast and availability to answer questions she is a true Southern Queen of Airbnb. Her recommendations on where to eat were spot on so much so we even had dinner at one place and dessert at another of her recommendations. Recommendations also catered to all budgets.
THE ROOM: Much thought, love and care has gone into her shared listing which she describes as a hostel for adults but it is so much more than just a room. You have access to a loungeroom, sitting room and kitchen. While the bathroom was shared for this room, we didnt ever have to wait and there is a separate toilet downstairs. The place is kept immaculately clean considering the guests coming and going. The Rose Room was large and the sheets amazing, lots of room to spread out in.
THE LOCATION: Based in Mid City it feels like a genuine New Orleans neighbourhood not some tourist spot. Easy access to the French Quarter and a step away from the busy sometimes crazy areas. As with most of New Orleans travel back by UBER or LYFT is recommended at night for around $10.
