There’s nothing quite like New Orleans. Glistening lights bounce off wrought-iron balconies, jazz musicians permeate the corners, and charm finds its way into the nook of every neighborhood. Whether you’re curious about the architecture behind the brightly colored façades or buzzing to partake in some Southern soul food, there’s always an infinite loop of eat, drink, look, listen, and repeat. After a jam-packed day of exploring historic districts, these colorful, yet luxurious Airbnbs are the perfect place to relax and unwind. Although there are elevated amenities, they, of course, still retain that classic NOLA charm.
