Malvern could not have been a more perfect host. He answered any questions we had promptly, greeted us upon arrival, and even stocked the kitchen with breakfast essentials and beer. He made us feel so welcome in his home and made our stay in New Orleans very special. And his home in the Garden District is a real gem! It is beautifully decorated (dark wood, gorgeous fireplaces, impressive book cases) with Jazz Fest and other fine art displayed throughout. The rooms are nicely furnished with comfortable beds; plenty of room for our group of 5 adults. There is a wonderful shower with plenty of hot water. And it is a very convenient location - a short walk to many lovely historic homes and great restaurants in the Garden District. The St. Charles streetcar stop is at the end of the block (1 minute walk) and takes about 20 minutes to get to the French Quarter. Malvern even connected us with a terrific cab driver and we were able to arrange airport pickup and drop off, rides to and from Jazz Fest, all in advance of our arrival in New Orleans. All in all, we had a fantastic time at Malvern's home in the Garden District and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to New Orleans.
