This is a great location for exploring the whole of the city. It’s a stone’s throw away from the streetcar on st Charles which is cheap and runs all night. There is real range of places to eat nearby of different price levels, and Kris provides details of these in a really helpful folder he has put together. I was there 10 days for a conference held at both Tulane and Xavier universities, which were both easily accessible from the house. Kris was a fantastic host, really quick to respond, welcoming (leaving us Halloween treats on our porch and sharing delicious papaya and oranges from the front garden), but also respected our privacy. I would wholeheartedly recommend!
