Stephen's place is indeed historic and the perfect location to explore NOLA - we had a really great stay but I would say this house is no more than a base - a place to rest your head and get out to explore. Safe neighborhood close to all the good stuff - Frenchman, Marigny, Bywater and back into the FrenchQuarter all within easy walking. If you think you will spend more time here, it's history is also it's curse, the rooms and house is dark (the photos betray a false sense of natural light), the amenities are a bit knackered and the sheets etc all feel tired and well used. Great place, but might need a refresh if the turn over of guests is this high!
