My kids and I enjoyed our stay at Jeff's place. It was a cool oasis away from the heat and crowded touristy spots. The quad was very clean and beautifully decorated. One daughter didn't want to leave her bedroom. Wi-Fi was nice and so were the two bathrooms. The kids had their own space and bathroom apart from my space. This is rare considering the historical architecture of houses in the Bywater, Marigny, French Quarter area. I rent a lot of vacation homes, many whose owners don't treat the property with respect. Jeff has put a lot of time, energy and money into his property and it shows.
Walgreens, CVS and Family Dollar are within walking distance. So are plenty of amazing places to eat. We enjoyed the St Roch Market, Geenes PoBoys, and picked up boiled seafood at Capt Sal's at least three times during our stay. This area is a food blogger's dream. I highly suggest the Four Square app, a search in the St Claude, St Roch etc etc areas. You will find plenty of gems off the beaten path.
If you're into street art, you are in the right area. Banksy's famous "Rain Girl" is close by on N. Rampart, and the famous Frenchman's Art Market has moved to it's new location on St Claude Ave. If you want a true, authentic New Orleans experience I would definitely recommend Jeff's Place. We fell in love with Nola, in this gritty, artsy, socially diverse area. Bring your camera and your appetite. You will truly feel the spirit of New Orleans here.
