This is a stellar, authentic spot from which to explore New Orleans! It is a 7 minute walk from St. Roch Market (YUM!), 15-20 minute walk from the French Quarter AND there's a Walgreens close by for all your minor needs! This historic "shotgun" house is wonderful and big, comfortable and functional. We appreciated the juice, bagels, jam and cream cheese, fruit and Kuerig coffee so much. Best breakfast at Who Dat 5 blocks right down the street. Neighbors very friendly, open and informative. Saul was around and gave great tips (Who Dat, etc). Enjoyed on our street was the occasional wandering cat, friendly neighbors, colorful shotgun houses, practicing musicians, and newly opened dance studio. Don't miss the murals everywhere on St. Claude street, right around the corner! This is truly a residential neighborhood. We left with a much better understanding of the people, the culture, music and Katrina. Take the city tour, ride the streetcars, walk, dine (so many good places I won't even try to name them all), and peruse artwork. Listen to the music, which is everywhere. Thanks Saul, it was awesome!!
