recently reported bookings spiking by 52% since COVID restrictions have begun
to lift in some areas. Using Forbes' bucket list of the top 50 places in the world based on Airbnb popularity, money.co.ku determined the highest rated Airbnb stays, ranked from 1
(being the lowest score) to 100. The data considered both the number of reviews
as well as the average score of an Airbnb. New Orleans ranked number 7 (just behind Moscow, Russia, and Havana, Cuba) with a
score of 87 in this carefully crafted global list, and it's no surprise! From
the French Quarter to Uptown, to Mid-City and the Bywater, New Orleans has
hundreds of cool Airbnb's!
If Airbnb is your lodging choice on
vacation, a few things come into play. Of course, picking the perfect vacation
city is crucial. As recognized by money.co.ku's research, New Orleans obviously
scores high in that regard. But what really bumps NOLA to the top 10 is the
uniqueness of the Airbnb spaces themselves, and the fact that there is an
option that satisfies every vacation! For example, stay in a historic house at
Luminous Marigny Loft. A spot like this is moments away from live jazz on
Frenchmen and is sure to satisfy the history buffs urge to spend time in a New
Orleans historic home. If entertainment is the priority, pick one of the
hundreds of French Quarter condos and stay right in the thick of the fun! Staying
in the quarter not the vacation vibe for you? No problem! In Uptown New Orleans,
you'll find stunning houses, private rooms, and guest suites to choose from.
