First of all, Forrest is an amazing, friendly and knowledgeable host and his "tiny house" is a mini home away from home. Thoughtfully decorated with so many beautiful and personal touches you feel welcome the moment you step over the threshold. The bed is incredibly comfortable. The bathroom is really pretty (if aesthetics matter to you). The coffee maker and choices of coffee a big plus. Mini refrigerator very roomy and cold. The neighborhood is VERY safe and diverse and the neighbors very friendly. I walked late at night from both the bus stops at Tulane and Carrolton and from the street car at Canal and Scott. If you are economically minded, you can get from the airport to Forrest's place for $2.00 (cash only) taking the E2 bus, or if the E2s are not running you can catch an RTA bus. You can get an RTA day pass for $3.00 or Jazzy passes for multiple days and there is an app for your phone. It was a 6-8 minute walk (depending on which stop you choose) with my backpack, roller bag and messenger bag on top of the roller bag to the bus stop. I went to the Bywater, the Lower Ninth Ward, Tremé, the 7th Ward, the Garden District and the French Quarter all via public transportation and street car from Forrest's place. I'd rather save my money for food and entertainment. There are two major supermarkets (Winn Dixie and Rouse's) within walking distance and local bars, cafes and restaurants as well. AND for you night owls, if you are coming back from the French Quarter, there is a Rouse's on Royal St. that is open very late. I grabbed some groceries and walked the six blocks to Canal St., caught the street car to Scott and walked back to the tiny house to enjoy my "dinner". There is so much to see and experience in NOLA so don't waste your money on overpriced hotels in the French Quarter. Go and experience the tiny house in Mid City and venture out!
