We had a positively lovely vacation in Nee Orleans. The condo is clean, spacious, stylish and in an ideal location to reach everything we needed by foot. Streetcars are also a short stroll away for longer excursions. We were not right on top of the noise of Bourbon street but close enough to enjoy the vibes. Host was thoughtful to leave earplugs but the bed but we didn't need them as the bedroom is away from the street, quiet and cozy with nice linens! The balcony was a perfect perch to enjoy the parades down nearby streets, people watching and many nearby museums and historical sites, not to mention Olympic-class parallel parking on the street below. New Orleans has changed some since we were here 20 years ago, but it is still saturated with history, food, music and culture...everything we love about it! We'll be back, we won't wait 20 years this time, and we'll happily stay at Ben's place again.
