Staying with Tom and Susan was an excellent experience! They frequently communicated with us about places to go, things to do, and their insider favorites. The apartment was in a prime location - very quiet and enjoyable while being in close proximity to the streetcar (which I would highly recommend) and many restuarants and parks to spend time in, as well as the levee to walk along. We met Susan the first night and ran into her several times after - she made us feel incredibly welcome and was always a pleasure to talk to about our adventures! I would highly recommend staying with Tom and Susan if you plan on visiting New Orleans!
