The walk from down town was longer than I expected (about 35 minutes), but Vincent was waiting for me and welcomed me. The house is very nice and clean, and in a quiet neighbourbood. Public transport to the inner city is 7 minutes walk and then by 'streetcar' about 10 minutes. The streetcar runs 24/7 which is wonderful. Vincent also has a bike to rent, which makes it even easier to get to town and to bike around to get to know New Orleans. Vincent and Lauren are a nice and easy and friendly couple. in other words: go.
