Planning a trip to New Orleans? There are plenty of amazing short-term rentals perfect for resting your head. These days, visitors to the Big Easy are no longer limited to small, tourist-heavy spots in and around the French Quarter. The nearby Marigny, Treme, and Bywater neighborhoods are all thriving with cafes, restaurants, and bars. The former no-man’s land between downtown and beautiful, historic Uptown now boasts some of the city’s most sought-after properties—both along the picturesque Bayou St. John and in the newly-dynamic Mid City. Plus, picking a rental outside of the tourist-heavy spots means you’ll get a real insight into the local culture—there’s much more to discover than Bourbon Street. To help you make your decision, we’ve compiled a list of the best Airbnbs across all areas of the city, suitable for every type of traveler. Once you’ve locked in your stay, start mapping out your itinerary with the help of our New Orleans city guide, featuring the city’s best po’boys, kid-friendliest activities, easy day trips, and more.
