I strongly recommend staying at Kendall’s place in Central City if you want an authentic experience in New Orleans. I stayed in the French Quarter and the Lower Garden District during my stay as well and by far I preferred my time at Kendall’s place. Being there reminded me of why AirBnB is so great - I was able to travel without feeling like a tourist; something so refreshing in a city that can feel overwhelmed by the flashiness of Bourbon St. Kendall and the neighbors were kind, welcoming, and helpful. The house is within walking distance to Lower Garden District, Uptown, and the St. Charles Streetcar.
The interior of the place is gorgeous! You can see the thoughtfulness in every detail and corner. Kendall has thought of everything and provided more than I could have expected for a comfortable stay. Check-in and communication were excellent.
