We had fun staying at this place. Alex was a wonderful host with quick responses and valuable recommendations. We were able to experience one of the local culture which is the Second Line for Dr. John at the Mother-In-Law Lounge. My husband and I had no idea what it is or about until we were in the thick of it. We also had an opportunity to meet Kermit Ruffin!! We love our local experiences and their location is central to everything that is going on including the City Park, Cafe Degas for brunch, Coco Hut for Jamaican flavor, St. Louis Cemetery, etc. We recommend you renting the blue bike and see the city that way. You'll experience unexpected local encounters!
