This clean, comfortable room is—which is a GREAT value—is off the beaten path in the Mid-City neighborhood, but close to the Canal Street trolley. My recommendations: 1. As you walk out the front door (which sticks badly in very hot weather, so push HARD on it with your shoulder), make a left and walk 1 1/2 blocks to the corner of Banks and Broad. There you'll find a deli/bodega serving what many locals think is the city's BEST GUMBO, along with delicious fried fish, chicken, and shrimp; and 2. Make a left onto Broad Avenue, where Coffee Science serves great breakfast pastries and coffee. As advertised, Nicolas's room has GREAT wi-fi and AC, and his roommate Matthew (with whom you'll share a kitchen and bath) did not appear during my very pleasant 3-day stay.
