Sure, you could post up in a fancy hotel for your next (or first) visit to the Big Easy, but consider the best New Orleans Airbnbs if you want to cosplay as a local. This historic Southern city—bursting with culture, music, and architecture—is best enjoyed right in the center of the action, from the porch of your short-term rental by the French Quarter, perhaps, or in the brick-walled outpost you’ve secured in the Marigny district to hear the neighborhood brass bands as they parade the streets.
There are hundred of stylish Airbnb rentals to serve as your cozy home base after a long day of eating and shopping. Take home a souvenir or two near Bourbon Street, inhale some gumbo and fried food in the Garden District, or suit up for an evening out on the town at one of NOLA’s famous nightlife hotspots. Ahead, discover some of our favorite New Orleans Airbnbs for indulging in all the Southern comforts on your stay, from modern Victorian mansions to Creole cottages and light-filled lofts.

Old World meets new in this private pool house that was renovated just a few years back. Situated behind a classic New Orleans-style home that dates back to 1833, the two-story guest house is equipped with a modern kitchenette complete with sleek stainless steel finishes, along with a generous living room for game nights. And for those weary of sharing the property, rest assured that guests are free to roam the backyard and commandeer the pool at their convenience. Plus, the private entrance sure doesn’t hurt. Only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the bars on Bourbon Street, live music on Frenchmen Street, and galleries on Royal Street, this accommodation is most definitely the best of both worlds. From $190 per night.
