Peter and Jessica were great hosts - it was handy having them right next door to ask questions. They gave us great advice on good places to eat and the wine shop 2 blocks away is awesome! As someone else said the neighbourhood wouldn't win the best looking street in New Orleans but everyone was friendly and it was quiet at night. Didn't hear the train at all. We walked a lot but when my mother's knees gave out we resorted to taxis and buses which were easy to navigate. The house itself has plenty of room and is simply but tastefully decorated. The 6 pack of Abita in the fridge went down a treat!
