Summer 2024 News & Events

Hello!
With increasing numbers of horror stories showing up on social media about Air BnB, we just wanted to remind you that our city’s lovely, legal and licensed bed and breakfast inns are ALWAYS a better choice.
We’ve seen crazy stories about folk being locked out in the middle of the night by absent owners, mystery amounts of money being charged for various vague “services” and of course, the classic, long lists of chores that Air BnB guests are supposed to carry out! Every guest is charged a cleaning fee AND THEN they’re expected to clean the places themselves! We think that’s outrageous!
Thankfully, the city is now taking action to close down illegal short term rentals in New Orleans, and so there’s never been a better time to look at the beautiful options on our website, bbnola.com.
You can rest assured that you’ll only pay the agreed price, that your owners will be on hand to deal with any issues immediately AND we’ll take care of all the chores, so that you can just relax and enjoy your time in our wonderful city.


Speaking of our city, here are a few events coming up that we think are worth a trip - go to the website to book your rooms now, and come and see us very soon!
