Norman provided us with a wonderful stay on our family vacation! Virtually no issues, and the one issue that we did come across with one of the beds was promptly rectified the same day. I cannot say enough for Norman's attentiveness and proper care for his travelers. The location was great, no more than fifteen minutes to anywhere we wanted to go while visiting New Orleans. If you choose to stay here, I would highly recommend visiting Rosalita's Backyard Tacos and Petite Clouet Cafe, each about a five and ten minute walk respectively. Also, the private yard is truly a sanctuary away from the city. The only tell-tales of living in such an urban area are the occasional sirens and other various vehicle noises, and the smell of the jasmine (at least I think that's what it was) made it the most enjoyable place to be in the whole place. The neighborhood is about what you would expect for being in New Orleans and after adjusting to the shock of being in the city, for those who do not live in a larger city, you most likely won't perceive it as unsafe. One side note is that this is a duplex-style house—which is made abundantly clear on the listing—so you may see your neighbors occasionally, but it is in no way obtrusive. You won't regret staying with Norman, especially not at this property!
