Leron and Dennis were very welcoming – I enjoyed sitting out on the porch and chatting to them both. They had great tips for places to eat good Creole food and catfish in the city and the best places to catch live music. Dennis walked me to the convenience store on day one so I could buy some food and try some shrimp - cooked the New Orleans way - for lunch.

Neighbours seemed friendly too – said hello to me each morning if they were sitting outside. All the other reviews mention the cockerels. Yes, they woke me up in the morning, it didn’t bother me. Unless you’re a light sleeper it shouldn’t be much of an issue.

The French Quarter is not far from Leron and Dennis’ place; not exactly on your doorstep but you get to see more of New Orleans’ neighbourhoods with the walk, which incidentally takes you past some great neighbourhood cafes you wouldn’t otherwise see.

I caught a cab or an uber back most nights from the French Quarter. The one night I walked back I felt safe enough – was just a bit quiet.

Great stay in NOLA! Thanks guys.
