Where to even begin… I suppose I will start off by saying that this was hands-down the best Airbnb experience I have ever had, both in regard to my host and the actual listing. Prior to my arrival, Glynn was so friendly and communicative. When I had a few moments of medical uncertainty on whether or not I would actually be able to come down to New Orleans for the wedding I was attending, he was very patient and understanding through out all of that. Luckily however, I ended up being able to come after all and he was was so accommodating to both my change of flights and my later/after check in arrival time.
I am very disappointed I didn’t get to meet him in person during my trip, but he stayed communicative and wonderful throughout via the messaging on the app.
The listing itself is truly beyond words. The gorgeous pictures posted don’t even begin to do it justice. It’s right around the corner from Magazine Street and lots of restaurants and bars, but is out of the cut and on a quiet street. The property is GORGEOUS inside and out, with lush greenery outside and beautiful amenities inside.
I’m kicking myself for not bringing a bathing suit because the pool looked absolutely divine, but I did have several morning sitting out on the porch, which honestly was almost just as good. So peaceful and serene and absolutely gorgeous. Inside the property has basically everything you could possibly need for a wonderful stay in New Orleans.
The furniture was very mid century modern, which I absolutely adored, the bathroom is stocked with linens, kitchen had everything to make coffee, in the fridge had complementary bottles of water. Upstairs they were to ceiling fans as well as an AC unit, which kept the unit perfect temperature when there, and even though I turned off the AC when I wasn’t there, it was never uncomfortable coming back after having it off.
The bed itself was so comfortable I really appreciated the extra pillow in one of the bureaus. I don’t have kids, but there were coloring books and markers left for those who do have children and stay which I thought was so nice, and both upstairs and downstairs there were books and pamphlets all about different aspects of the city.
I was at the listing by myself, but it could’ve easily held a couple or small family. I would like to add that, being there alone as a single female, I never once felt unsafe or uncomfortable, whether in the actual Airbnb or whether on the street waiting for a Lyft or walking around the neighborhood. Really wonderful area.
Basically, if you’re considering coming to New Orleans and are looking for hands-down the best place to stay, with the best host for an incredibly reasonable price, look no further. There is no better than this gem! Can’t wait to come back and stay again sometime!
