The two of us have loved NOLA for years and finally decided to try 'living like locals' there this winter. We stayed at Andrew's place for nine weeks and are so happy to have chosen his place. The location was the absolute BEST! The neighborhood is safe and quiet. It's just a couple of blocks to the streetcar, which is easy, convenient and economical to get around town. We used it most of the time even though we had a car. Andrew's place is also an easy walk to City Park and Bayou St. John as well as a BBQ joint, a beer garden and other restaurants. There are also two supermarkets just a couple of blocks away. Another nearby amenity is the Lafitte Greenway, a bike/pedestrian path that goes two miles to the French Quarter.
Andrew was a great host and bent over backwards to make us welcome and comfortable. He was always very responsive and accommodating.
