My time in New Orleans was amazing, the city itself is a special place to be but if you have access to the "real thing" ( which is outside of the touristic areas and activities - for example go on a 2nd Line ) THE BEST to see, to feel and discover is a 2nd Line which I went to with Hollis.

Area:

The Area is really quiet so nothing will bother you during the nighttime. You are very close to everything ( Frenchmen Street, Bourbon Street, French Quater, Superdome and so on ).
Even the Bus is right by the house which brings you right into town.
( + Taxis at night are also cheaper because of the short Distance ;) )

House:

I felt like home and I think that is the most important part for a house.
The living room is comfortable place with a cozy couch which really invites you to stay longer than you want to :D

Room:

It is a nice room with a closet which has room for a lot of stuff ( if you carry a lot of luggage or you want to purchase a lot in NOLA :D )
+ you have your own bathroom

Host:

Hollis was a great host because like I already said he maid me feel home. When I needed a place to eat at or see he knew a nice place where I could go to.
