I absolutely, thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Neil and Nancy's! They were both so welcoming and available for guidance, yet not at all intrusive. They're such an intelligent, interesting couple with a great sense of style and a love of New Orleans and the home reflects all of that. I LOVED my room...spacious, beautifully airy and artfully rustic in decor. It has a very comfortable bed with nice cotton linens, great pillows, and a mosquito net surround. I slept great both nights! The windows and doors have these cool and functioning reclaimed wood shutters on the exterior for added privacy and to help keep the morning sun from waking you too early or heating up the room. The shared bathroom downstairs is colorful, fabulously funky, and well-appointed. They have coffee, tea, and water available and Nancy brought pastry from the farmers' market one day and she baked amazing scones the next....I had the pleasure of sitting and chatting with her both mornings as I enjoyed my coffee and treats. A truly relaxed atmosphere and great company. I love the area: it was a pretty easy walk to Magazine Street, which has lots of great independent shops and places to eat, and only a little more of a hike into the heart of the Garden District, where you can see the great old homes, and grab a streetcar up on St. Charles. I personally don't like staying in the middle of the 24 hour party that is downtown/French Quarter and liked that this place had some tranquility (looooooved hearing a train whistle at night....) but is still an easy cab ride either way to uptown or the quarter. I highly recommend staying here and hope to again on my next trip to the Big Easy.....
