WOW! We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Riverbend Retreat. This was our first visit to New Orleans and everything was fantastic--weather, food, culture, nightlife. And this place was the perfect home for our stay in NOLA. Jennifer was very welcoming and met me to check-in even after my flight had been delayed into the late night. She stocked our fridge with essentials and then some: coffee, orange juice, chocolate croissants, and creamer. She was never more than a text away if there were issues (such as WiFi connectivity, etc.). Elizabeth lives upstairs and was super friendly whenever we saw her, answering any questions we had about local places to visit, etc. She welcomed us with fresh honey from her honeybees-- how cool! Her doggies are wonderful as well and always brought a smile to our faces. She allowed us to store our luggage after check-out time so we could enjoy our last day in the city before our flight which made a huge difference! The streetcar has a stop less than a minute walk from the door which makes getting around super easy and fun. The Riverbend is a great place to stay with awesome hosts and a great location! We are so happy to have been the first guests in the Riverbend and will definitely be back!
