My boyfriend Andrew and I just returned from our trip to NOLA, and we were lucky enough to stay 4 nights at Tom's place in Mid-City. His home is a true gem. The neighborhood was close enough to travel to the more touristy spots in New Orleans (French Quarter, downtown) via the trolley car on Canal St., but far enough to escape the noise and crowds when we wanted to. The apartment was clean, roomy and fully equipped with anything we needed during our stay. Tom was nice enough to have stocked the fridge with eggs, juice, and yogurt to give us a head start on our stay. We also found his recommended list of local restaurants/bars super helpful! Tom was super nice and easy to get in contact with. I also appreciated that he checked-in with us to make sure we were enjoying our stay. I definitely recommend staying at Tom's apartment where you can truly live like a local!
