I would give Michael and his Fabulous Location ten stars if I could. It's very obvious that he has been hosting guests for a long time. The house is absolutely the perfect location if you intend to walk around the French Quarter and the surrounding area. It's just far enough from the action to be quiet, but it's only a very short walk away from all the fun. It's great to be able to duck back in whenever you need a break, bathroom, etc. His place is clean, comfortable, and has more charm than a finishing school. It's much bigger than I anticipated; the sitting area is a wonderful respite. There is a huge selection of guides and NOLA info, plus his walking tour directions. It has all the basics and then some, so you don't need to worry about packing the kitchen sink. On top of it all, Michael is just awesome. We enjoyed the little bit we got to talk with him. If we get a chance to return to NOLA, we'll be disappointed if we have to stay anywhere else.
