Staying in a New Orleans AirBNB is the best way to experience a trip to the Big Easy. There are many lovely hotels and inns to stay at in the wonderful city of New Orleans. But sometimes staying in an AirBNB provides an authentic charm to your vacation. It’s private, you have your own space without sharing it with the public, you can have your own kitchen to do your own cooking so you can eat at home, and it just provides a “home” away from home. (It is also great for social-distancing.) I was so surprised by all the incredible places I found available in New Orleans at such affordable prices. I’ve put together a quick list of the most gorgeous AirBNB stays in the best locations of the French Quarter and Garden District.
New Orleans AirBNB – Garden District
Elegant Flat in the Historic Lower Garden District – $199/night average
4 guests · 2 bedrooms · 2 beds · 1 bath
What an incredible find!!! Stay like royalty in this beautiful apartment flat in the lower Garden District of New Orleans. Among the stunning and historical mansions of the Big Easy. Elegantly furnished with floor-to-ceiling windows with a private balcony, the grand Victorian home dates back to 1875! With a mix of antiques and modern furnishings decorating the space, this location will make your stay feel so exquisite while you languish in history and luxury. A quick hop onto a streetcar nearby will instantly transport you to the French Quarter to visit the sites of the big city.
Jazzy and Funky Vibes – Lower Garden District & Walk to Magazine! – $109/night average
2 guests · 1 bedroom · 1 bed · 1 bath
This place got to be the coolest place to stay in New Orleans. I love the pop of bold colors and fun decor. This New Orleans AirBNB apartment has a festive and funky art vibe with its bold paint choices and eclectic décor. The spacious studio is two stories with a bedroom and bath located on the second floor. It was once a Synagogue that has been remodeled and professionally designed by NOLA’s top design group. An outdoor courtyard with seating is also great for enjoying some time outside in the evenings. It’s perfect for young couples or friends enjoying a trip in New Orleans. Located near the Garden District and walking distance from the Magazine Street. It’s sure to liven up any vacay in the Big Easy, especially during Mardi Gras!

I just can’t get enough of these dreamy places to stay at in New Orleans. This sweet little bungalow house is located in the Bywater district which is just around the corner of the French Quarter. It’s close enough to all the sights and restaurants but far enough from the night life. This lovely stay is bright, airy and just inspires comfort and charm of the Big Easy. It also has the cutest little outdoor porch area in the front to enjoy your morning coffee.

Don’t miss my New Orleans 3 Day Weekend Guide and my Best Self-Guided New Orleans Foodie Tour! I’ve got the whole package for you in one place so you can have the ultimate New Orleans trip!!!
Love the pics and description! Wow! Pinned for future reference!
OMG – these are adorable! I’m also slightly bitter that I do not have this design sense at all haha. I’d be happy to stay in any of these gorgeous Airbnbs!
aw I love New Orleans. These AirBnBs all look so fun! I want to stay at all of them!
I wish I had known about these locations when I last visited New Orleans. They look so nice! But I’ll take a note for the next trip. Hopefully Bourbon Street and Frenchmen Street call me again someday. New Orleans was so much fun.
WOW! These are gorgeous… and some, like the one from Treme, is super affordable. I love NOLA so much, so I saved & pinned this blog for my next trip there.
These places look amazing! I may take a trip there soon, glad to have this info!
I have been missing New Orleans so much and your post has officially made me miss it even more. My husband and I usually visit 4-5 times per year and haven’t been in over a year now due to the pandemic. 🙁 I love how affordable these options are. I will definitely be pinning this for when we get to return to NOLA
These AirBNBs are out of this world!!! Read your New Orleans Foodie Tour post just a few days back and you’re really convincing me to head out there all the way from Singapore! 😂🤩
These are lovely places. I wonder if Airbnb affects the local renting market in New Orleans like it does in other cities?
These AirBNBs are so beautiful, it would be so hard to choose just one on a future trip to New Orleans.
Wow! Honestly O’ve always prefer Airbnb. These ones are incredibly beautiful. Though I’m not from there but will share with friends living close by. Thanks for sharing
These are all beautiful Airbnbs. I now want to go back to New Orleans and stay in some of these spots. They are all so pretty! 🙂
