We loved staying at Mike's place in mid town. It was our first time in NoLA and at first I was a little bummed at the distance to the French Quarter, etc, but the easy street car access made that no problem at all. Also, being out in Midtown gave us the easy ability to explore other neighborhoods, walk around city park, and -- the best part -- it was SO quiet!! We slept like the dead in the soft bed at the back of the house, with the darkening curtains keeping us asleep til well past sunrise (a change for us early risers). A tip -- Mona's Cafe, just down the street, has a little grocery store attached. Their fresh baked pita, crumbly salty feta and eggs made for a great breakfast at Mike's -- their kitchen is well equipped for simple cooking. Thank you Mike! Your place was perfect.
