John was the perfect host. This was our first trip to New Orleans, and he gave us some great ideas for food and entertainment. I definitely recommend checking out Zydeco at RockNBowl on Thurs nights. The location of his place was ideal -- 10 minutes by car to the French Quarter, and also near the local streetcar line (which we didn't take). Ample street parking, so having a car was not a problem. Accommodations far exceeded what we would expect for such a low price. A kitchen with stove and access to cooking supplies, a living room with cable tv, and a bedroom with a comfortable double bed. It also had a charming breakfast nook. I highly recommend.
