My group and I had a great time in Aleks's house. It was spacious, clean, and most importantly, in a fantastic location. While we were certainly interested in checking out the French Quarter, it was great to be away from the majority of the tourists and get the chance to eat at several FANTASTIC restaurants in the area that seemed to cater to locals almost exclusively.

I'd definitely recommend booking Aleks's place if you are looking to have easy access to the touristy parts of New Orleans, but also want to get to experience a little more of the local culture (and cuisine).
