I stayed with Beverly during Mardi Gras for my first time using an AirBnB, and the quality of her hosting has me convinced I'll use the service again. Beverly was warm and full of Mardi Gras spirit, offering many suggestions and encouraging us to see the city.
The room was absolutely beautiful – my travel companion remarked it was the most "hotel-like" AirBnB she's stayed at. The towels were plush, sheets soft, and a bottle of filtered water was provided. Wonderful stay.
