James is an incredible host! He called a few days ahead of time to ask if I was a coffee drinker (I am), and if I planned on renting a bike. When I arrived, there was a coffee maker with all the fixings, and the number/info of a trusted vendor for bike rentals.

He told me where to go on what to hear local music, and was full of suggestions for particular restaurants/music venues.

The room is in Bywater, and a 1/2 hour walk into the Quarter, or 20 min for Frenchmen St. There're plenty of good eats/music in Bywater however -- just ask James and he's sure to let you know!

If it works out, I'd love to stay here again. Great host, great location.
