Had a great time.
Despite the tropical storm our host made every attempt to accommodate our stay. The house is a bit aged (but I suppose that’s common for a place like New Orleans). While I wouldn’t consider the house in the garden district it does have a good location nestled in a commercial area on St. Charles Ave. just on the outskirts of downtown/French Quarter. Street Car is absolutely convenient. It really is walking distance to everything if you enjoy that sort of thing.
Our host had the house stocked with lots of coffee/soda/and snacks which was a very nice touch to start our trip.
