We had a great time in New Orleans and part of it was due to the recommendations and help from Liberty.
We enjoyed staying with the Rashad family in the historic Treme neighborhood. Huckabuck Village in walking distance to the French Quarter and many restaurants and music venues. Although we didn't have a chance to use them, they also have bikes for guests to use.
Breakfast was also very pleasant. The weather was warm, so we were able to eat outside in the garden.
If you are interested in staying with a very friendly, helpful family, I would recommend Huckabuck Village.
