Michael is a wonderful, helpful host. We picked this spot because we wanted to be near the French Quarter and Frenchman's street - but not right in it. In the opposite direction we found great coffee, pretty streets, and a neighborly feel. The house is right in between - perfect location! From the balcony we were able to watch a marching band coming up the street, rehearsing for Mardi Gras, with all the neighbors popping their heads out to watch. Local food options are amazing, so we didn't use the kitchen, but everything in the house was ready in case we did.
