The location was great in a neighborhood that is gentrifying. On our first morning we stepped outside to hear school kids practicing trumpet on the next block, which was a jazzy welcome. We were easily able to walk to both the music clubs on Frenchmen Street and the heart of the French Quarter, but the neighbourhood was quiet at night. Stephen made us feel right at home. The house was clean and tidy, and we had access to the kitchen and a shelf in the fridge. Stephen steered us to the best places to eat and drink.
