We spent 5 nights a Alek's accommodations. We really enjoyed our stay. Location is excellent in that it is in a very livable neighborhood with plenty of amenities such as bars & restaurants. We took advantage of these when we were overwhelmed by the French Quarter and were looking for something a little quieter.
Alek's place is just three short blocks from the Canal Street streetcar which became our primary method of transportation. We bought the 5 day pass which turned out to be an excellent value.
One quirky nuance about the accommodations: It wasn't clear to me that in order to access the kitchen, which is located at the back of the house, you need to walk through the downstairs bedroom. Not really a problem for our group but some groups may find this awkward.
The backyard is an oasis that we used every afternoon after touring and walking. Quiet and refreshing. We actually swam when it was 72 degrees (hey, we are from Wisconsin!).
I definitely recommend this accommodation and would stay here again.
