Haiyan and Laura are extremely pleasant and trustworthy hosts. Haiyan's welcoming smile and positive attitude makes you feel at home. The bedroom and shared bathroom were nicely decorated and functional.
This house is nicely located in the Garden District and minutes away from transportation, restaurants, markets, etc. The street is 3 blocks away on St. Charles Ave which ends on Canal Steet [the main uptown strip and walking distance to the Creole Queen, Harrah's and Convention Center]. I recommend paying for the Hop-on Hop-off bus and ending your last stop at Stop #14 on Louisiana and St. Charles Ave and walk approximately 6 blocks to Haiyan's house.
Best to travel with others anywhere in New Orleans because there are areas that may bring safety concerns, thus travel in groups and during the day. If you have a car, Haiyan's place has plenty of Street parking.
I really enjoyed meeting Haiyan's family, friends and neighbors. Thanks for allowing me to enjoy a home away from home during my travels in the Big Easy!!
