John's place is in an amazing location. Very close to all the fun neighborhoods. We wanted to stay off the beaten path, so we spent a lot of time in Marigny, as well as Bywater and mostly went to Frenchmen St for music and bars. We loved Mimi's in the Marigny and Bacchanal's in the Bywater. You will trip over good food, good music and good people.
Coming from NY we are used to walking so walked to most of the locations which were from 5-25 mins away. Easy and cheap cab rides otherwise!
The house was very clean and John was very accomadating with our early check-in and late check-out times, and very responsive whenever we needed anything. Highly recommended!
