Tom and Susan have a great, charming spot in Uptown. They are a bit farther away from popular neighborhoods like Bywater and the French Quarter. Although it took no longer than 20 minutes by taxi, this can be pretty expensive over the course of a long vacation. I suggest taking advantage of the city's great bike-sharing system. Otherwise, they are about an 8 minute walk from Oak Street, which has great music, food and bar options, and is absolutely worth checking out. They have a clean and cozy apartment and Tom was incredibly helpful and warm in suggesting places to go while in New Orleans. I would strongly recommend staying with these hosts!
