Kristophers place is very stylish. You walk in the front door and there sits a grand piano! Kristopher is a jazz musician so his work hours are varied. We were worried about waking him in the mornings (knowing he'd had a late night) but it wasn't a problem. A shotgun house is one long narrow house. Our bedroom and bathroom are in the back of the house so there was no street noise. We caught ubers from his place and they were easily accessible and cheap. On the last day we walked home from the French Quarter and passed little coffee shops, a bakery and a few pubs. Its such a lovely place to walk around admiring the gardens and architecture! Kristopher is a friendly, helpful host but because of his schedule and ours, we didnt see a lot of each other. I'd recommend Kristopher's place as its away from the craziness of town. You walk into his peaceful home and immediately feel calm.
