Kim’s place is a gem. Sparkling clean; comfortable bed; efficient air-con; right beside the streetcar stop; everything in the place works perfectly…. It’s terrific. It was a great pleasure to sink into the deep (free-standing claw foot) bath every day after walking endlessly in this beautiful city. The neighbourhood is charming and there are delightful little restaurants within a five-minute amble of the house.
Kim’s place represents great value and is an opportunity to stay in a real community, rather than Tourist Central. The 35-40 minute streetcar ride to the French Quarter is a joy in itself - but so many other (frankly, more edifying) places (such as the Warehouse and Garden Districts) are served by the same streetcar.
I can heartily recommend Kim’s place to any solo traveller or couple.
