We stayed at Jan and Marty's place during the first week of Jazz Fest and were so happy with the experience. This is the best Airbnb that I have ever stayed in New Orleans and we come often. If you are new to New Orleans you have to know the the houses are old and so is the plumbing and electrical. You typically give up some comfort for the charm. This was not the case with Jan's place. The house and neighborhood have all of the charm of 19th century New Orleans but the house is totally remodeled with the comforts of home. The bedrooms were bigger than the pictures make you believe and the bathrooms and kitchen are updated.
The house is walking distance to great restaurants and bars. It is possible to stay there and never use a car. Our hosts provided a walking tour of the neighborhood that was really interesting. The neighborhood is near Commander's Palace and is filled with historic homes, old cemeteries and homes of celebrities and authors.
Jan and Marty were excellent hosts. They happened to be staying in the other half of the house while we were there. The house is so well built that you never heard them but they greeted us when we arrived and offered suggestions for restaurants and activities. We sat with them on the porch and it was like talking to old friends.
We really hope this place is available the next time we are in town. We would love to stay there again.
