Go here for a muffuletta (muh-fuh-lot-uh), a gigantic sandwich with layers of meat, cheese, and olive salad-made famous by the city’s Sicilian immigrants. Lunch is typically a buffet, hit that up and also order their gumbo. Go for lunch or dinner (note that they close at 8 pm). Get the surf n’ turf dressed, extra gravy (it’s fried shrimp and hot roast beef). Perfect for a small group of friends or couples. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, two sitting rooms, a dining area, and porch-all so so so thoughtfully designed. Located in the Marigny neighborhood, this spot surrounded by incredible restaurants and bars and just a short walk to the French Quarter. It’s absolutely gorgeous and the owners live on site to help with anything you need. If you do want a more at-home neighborhood feel, The Louie is one of the only home rentals in the city we can recommend. Random location but only a short drive from downtown. Midcentury motel in mid-city with a beautiful bar and pool.
Great for anyone wanting a unique New Orleans experience. The design of this place is truly amazing.
Gorgeously renovated school-turned-hotel in the hip Marigny neighborhood with an awesome bar. If you do use an AirBnB in this city, please be respectful of the many folks who call these neighborhoods home by not treating your rental as ground zero for partying (we have lots of bars and restaurants for that!).
Airbnb is not available in the French Quarter and has limited availability in most historic districts. In general, as a visitor, your best bet is to stay in these neighborhoods: Lower Garden District, The Warehouse District, The French Quarter, The Marigny, or The Bywater.
