Great! I had a lovely time staying with Jordan and hanging out with her very sociable cat Cicada. She has a beautiful house in a quiet part of the Tremé neighborhood within walking distance to food standouts such as Parkway Bakery & Tavern and Willie Mae’s Scotch House. At the former, you can enjoy some of the most delicious po’boys you’ll ever have, and at the latter you can try what many call America’s best fried chicken. And on the way back to Jordan's house if it’s a Sunday you might be able to stop by a fish fry put on by the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club!

The house’s wi-fi access is a bit wanting so don’t rely on that if you’ll need extensive internet access. And if it’s your first visit to New Orleans, keep in mind that it’s much harder to catch a cab than cities in the northeast or west coast (i.e., no Lyft or Uber), so either familiarize yourself with the bus lines or be prepared to walk a lot for outings to the French Quarter and Magazine Street. On my last day in the city it was torrentially raining and Jordan, the very nice host that she is, kindly offered to drive to the New Orleans Museum of Art to check out their collection. All in all, recommended.
