Sheila’s shotgun place is amazing. It was perfect for what my mother and I wanted. It was clean and comfortable and felt like a ‘home away from home’ and was a fabulous choice for our 5 night stay. The walk to the ferry takes about 8 minutes and at 2 dollars is a super cheap option to get to the French Quarter. We used the ferry everyday. We loved how we had access to the city quickly but we weren’t in the thick of it. The quiet and peace in Algiers was lovely, and we enjoyed sitting out on the porch swings. The fact that this place doesn’t have a full kitchen was not an issue, as Sheila provided several local restaurants in the welcome pack. We bought a few things to make our own breakfasts and for the rest of the time we either ate locally or were in the city. We also did the airboat tour Sheila recommended and t was fabulous. We just loved New Orleans and this little shotgun house! Communication was also fabulous.
