our airbnb in new orleans

new-orleans-airbnb-2

for our first month in new orleans, we rented a house through airbnb. this way we could take our time finding our bearings and exploring the different neighborhoods before choosing a definite place to live.

our airbnb was a typical small new orleans charming house, had the perfect location, and lot’s of light. we specially liked that it was a block from magazine street and so close to whole foods and district coffee, that we would stroll there every day! the neighbours were really friendly and luckily we were still there for halloween, which was lot’s of fun too. needless to say, julia loved hanging out in the porch, watching the dogs walking by or checking out the pumpkins across the street.

we loved our first little new orleans home and would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone visiting or moving here. if you’d like to see a few more pictures of the house or other info, click here.
