our airbnb in new orleans
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.
about our first weeks in new orleans
our first few weeks in new orleans went by sooo fast! we arrived on a sunday evening (3 days later due to tropical storm joaquin), we were exhausted from the delay in our plans and from the trip. james went straight to work the next morning, and julia and i ventured into exploring the neighborhood.
we rented a place on airbnb for our first month, so we could explorethe different neighborhoods before choosing a long term rental. i searched for our temporary home like crazy – i knew i wanted a place close to whole foods, coffee shops and restaurants – until i finally found the perfect little nola house close to magazine street and a few block away from kindred studios, where i could go exercise with julia. score!
we’ve been taking it easy, trying to keep julia on her schedule and finding a balance between doing her favorite things, driving around to explore the city, house hunting, and also trying out a few new restaurants and spots.
julia and i have been strolling around a lot, and we never get tired (or better, i never get tired) of walking around and looking at all the beautiful houses, most of them with rocking chairs in their porch – exactly like i had imagined it, but better.
these are some of the places we’ve been to and liked – Continue reading
