Why don't we start here? BOOK THIS PLACE! The value is bonkers, even with the Canadian/U.S exchange rate. The neighbourhood is groovy, unique and authentic. Within an hour of arriving, I'd met Jackie (on the left), Carlos (on the right) and Sam (across the street). Hanging on the front stoop was a blast of real New Orleans, and it's covered, so one doesn't need to be concerned about getting wet should it rain. The interior is to die for. All newly renovated, all tastefully finished. Ceiling height throughout is, I dunno, 16'? 18'? It's high. The kitchen is fab. The bedroom is fab. The bed is quite literally the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. The bathroom is gorgeous. Matthew and Sarah live in the adjoining home, and they were delightfully friendly and available to us, but by no means "helicoptering" in their approach. The neighbourhood is kinda sorta gritty, but totally safe, and definitely on the rise. The short walk up to Magazine street reveals a lovely array of restaurants and shops, artisans and characters. Sure, the French Quarter is well worth the visit, but you're gonna wanna end up back in this neighbourhood at the end of the day. Great food at Coquette less than a 10 minute walk. The Bulldog Pub has indoor and outdoor seating and has as many locals as tourists. The Rum House is almost always buzzing. 'Nuff said, check it out yourself!
