Couldn't imagine a better place to stay. We were concerned about being on the other side of the Mississippi River from much of the city but the ferry to the French Quarter was super-convenient, and this neighborhood is just a short drive from downtown. For our group, it was better to be outside of the busiest part of the city but with easy access to all the best areas. The backyard, the views of the river and the city and the upscale furnishings made for a nice retreat at the end of the day. The hosts were responsive and communicative. Definitely recommended.
