We loved staying at Tom's house. The house was large and comfortable and Thomas had everything we needed (including amazing coffee and creamer ... and a shovel). The porch was nice to hang out on and the neighbors kept to themselves. Tom was very accommodating and even offered us rides and to come see one his bands. We enjoyed talking to him about New Orleans culture and our travels and experiences. The location wasn't a far walk from the street car and (beautiful) local market, but we mostly tooks ubers, which weren't a far trip uptown, to city park, or into the quarter. We would definitely stay here again!
