Highly recommend Jackson's place if you don't want be in the middle of party central.
LOCATION: Can't get better than this -- beautiful neighborhood in the Garden District, within a short commute by streetcar/bus or Lyft/Uber to the Central Business District and the French Quarter. We loved that it was not in the middle of all that chaos, and we could still get there and back fast. Plus, it was nice walking around the neighborhood and checking out the local businesses (we love The Avenue Pub!) and shops on Magazine Street.
AMENITIES: Renovated space on the first floor of the house. It's both spacious and cozy. Everything was clean and neat. Bed was very comfortable. Only thing that could be better is the water pressure in the bathroom sink. But really, no complaints! I was fine with brushing my teeth in the shower.
HOST: Jackson is fast at responding and very accommodating. We met briefly outside her house one morning and she offered to let us borrow an umbrella. She also gave us clear instructions on how to check ourselves in since our flight was scheduled to arrive late. I felt like we were in good hands from the moment I made the reservation!
