Stay with Allan, you will not be disappointed. The space is a comfortable little cottage that feels like home. The porch area was a wonderful spot for a little time to chill out and relax. The neighborhood is charming, and walkable to fantastic music spots, i.e., Saturn Bar, Hi Ho Lounge, Allways Lounge & Cabaret, all on St Claude. As a single female, traveling solo, I never felt unsafe, even in the wee hours walking back from Frenchmen Street. There is a bike rental station just around the corner. The neighborhood food is fantastic. If you like barbecue, do not miss The Joint. Bywater Bakery is wonderful. Allan is very knowledgeable regarding music, and even invited me for a tour of the WWOZ studio, where he DJ’s. His music recommendations were stellar. Check in was very easy, with a code to open the doors. It was nice to not carry a key. The Mississippi River is only a few block away at Crescent Park, with a great paved path which runs for miles. A great place for a morning run. I will definitely stay here again. New Orleans is a place which will capture your heart, and Allan’s place is the perfect location to live like a local.
