It is no exaggeration to say that staying at Cleo's place was largely responsible for a unique and authentic stay in New Orleans. Don't be put off by the neighbourhood (as some reviews mention). It's a fun place close to multiple good areas, and we never once felt unsafe.
Cleo was a welcoming and gracious host with beer waiting and a phenomenal list of local restaurants and bars on the fridge. Use this list! I can not stress this enough, Cleo knows what's up.
Walking distance to both Bywater and the French Quarter, Cleo's place is a steal. The authentic New Orleans experience is one to remember, even if somewhat foggy.
