This was our second stay at Martin's place, 6 nights this trip, and once again we had a terrific time. Martin has lovingly restored an historic shotgun style house in a fabulous old neighborhood convenient to everything in NOLA, and walking distance to several excellent local restaurants. Martin loves his city, is a great conversationalist, and as a host truly wants his guests to enjoy their stay. He can recommend local events and restaurants in many areas of the city. The rooms were spotless clean, the bed was comfy, we got peace and quiet to sleep, and the neighborhood was friendly. The porch was a great place to drink a cup of coffee, or watch the occasional rain we got during our stay. If you want to experience New Orleans like a local, stop here for awhile and stay a spell.
