My wife and I stayed at John's for 30 nights. John is a very helpful and interested owner, but there is never any intrusion. The unit was very private, clean and comfortable. With spring weather and humidity we used both the heating and cooling and they worked great. The location was particularly handy for us because our daughter and her family lived on the same street about 2 short blocks away. The location is great for getting to pretty much everything in and near New Orleans via surface streets or the I-10. We drove to New Orleans so we had our car, but as I did not want to drive and park in the French Quarter we found it handy to take the #39 bus from the end of John's street and exit at the end of the line, which was essentially at one corner of the Quarter. Although we walked to the Quarter by crossing Canal Street and walking into the Quarter, we could have crossed the street and caught the Canal Street trolley to take us to Jackson Square (you would need a transfer ticket or all day ticket -- might as well get an all day pass for $3.00 as a ticket with transfer is $1.50). The return bus trip began at the point that was the end of the line on the trip in. It is also possible to walk down Carrollton Street a few short blocks, cross the Claiborne intersection (which is the start and terminus of the #12 line) and take the #12 bus down St Charles to Audubon Park, Tulane University, the shopping and dining on Magazine Street. Just like the #39 line, come back on the #12 to the end of the line, basically your point of original departure. We didn't ride buses at night and can't comment on that experience, but we found the daytime experience perfectly fine. Thanks to the bus, I didn't have the hassle of parking in the French Quarter (which can be expensive -- we parked once for dinner and it cost $20, a nuisance to find when there are crowds, and nerve wracking with all the other cars, trucks, gawkers and tourists). We went three times on the bus, but would not have returned had I needed to drive. For all of the above reasons, we hope to have the opportunity to stay again.
