We were a group of six: two adults and four teenagers. Stephan's house is filled with history, charm, and the quirks of being 200 years old. It's perfectly situated for exploring the French Quarter by foot or bike (a blue bike station is just a few blocks away), as well as the Marigny, the Bywater, and Tremé. The house stays cool with the shutters closed, and is wonderfully bright when they're open. Stephan provides several options for coffee if you're not up for the 15-minute stroll to Cafe du Monde. Kermit's Mother-in-Law Lounge is a 10-minute walk and is well worth experiencing. Stephan made a point of coming over to greet us, and left a list of suggested restaurants which was helpful given the hundreds of excellent options in the city. In short, we had exactly the experience we were hoping for in staying at Stephan's place.
