Being unfamiliar with NOLA, I was initially hesitant to stay this far away from the ‘safety’ of the French Quarter. After a day (and a walking trip through the Quarter) I found that Kim’s place was a vastly superior base for us, and the kind of experience that we wanted to have. It is very close to the FQ, but far enough away that it is quiet and very safe. We either walked or used the Blue Bikes most everywhere we went, and Kim’s place was ideally situated to do so. The house itself is charming and historic. It is clean, and well stocked with everything that we needed. The immediate neighborhood it is in has several very good restaurants. The only asterisk that I will put on this place, is that the shared wall between the rental, and the adjoining house where Kim lives is extremely thin. It only seemed to be a factor first thing in the morning (I think her home office is on the other side), so it didn’t bother us too much. Even so, we would stay here again!!
