If you are looking for an authentic New Orleans experience, mid-city is where you want to stay! Tim's place is the perfect refuge. For a couple or individual traveler, the space is plentiful and clean. The bedroom large, bed comfy. Central air makes for an inviting and comfortable stay, perfect for the warmer weather. Parking easily found on the streets surrounding the home. A very safe neighborhood. I encourage you to walk around, there are many local places to grab coffee or a bite to eat. The homes are unique and inviting. The Canal streetcar is a couple blocks which away makes for an easy ride into the city. I walked one day, took the streetcar another, and biked. There are bike lanes on many of their major avenues; easy riding and sightseeing. My recommendations for local pit stops: Coffee: Church Alley and Monkey Monkey Coffee and Tea. For a quick bite/brunch: Biscuits and Buns on Banks.
