Liberty and Pops could not have been better hosts - they were waiting for us when we arrived, showed us to our rooms and gave us a tour of the house, and made us feel welcome and at home right away.

If you stay at Huckabuck, you'll be treated not just as a guest, but as a member of the family. We met our hosts' friends and neighbours, spent a long time talking to them, hearing about the city and the culture of New Orleans.

Liberty and Pops really care about their neighborhood, and after a few days with them you'll know why - Treme is one of the friendliest, most welcoming places we've ever stayed. We walked and cycled all over, day and night, and barely passed a single person who didn't say hello, ask us how we were doing...it was wonderful.

Our stay in Huckabuck itself was incredibly comfortable - the room and private bathroom were both excellent, beautifully decorated and private, with good wifi. The continental breakfast every morning was delicious - croissants, toast, granola, eggs fresh grits and great coffee, and we spent a lot of time just talking over coffee and working out what to do in the city every day.

We also took advantage of the free bike loan to cycle all over NOLA most days, which meant we could make the most of every day and see more then if we'd been on foot, and Liberty also has great relationships with drivers, so we had the same guy picking us up to go out to bars and restaurants in the evenings.

So for all the practical boxes you need to tick for a visit - space, comfort, proximity to the French Quarter, wifi, local knowledge - Huckabuck will do it. But it's way more than that - it's a chance to really connect with what makes New Orleans such a special place - the spirit and generosity of the people that live there. One of the best vacations I've ever had - LIberty and Pops are the best. Thank you both so much.
