I had a great stay at Thomas' place. My room and the house were bright and cozy and the bed was very comfortable. The check-in/out process was seamless and I appreciated the attention to detail in the decorating choices which contributed to me feeling very much at home there. Thomas was happy to answer questions and provide recommendations about New Orleans and I recommend tapping into him for this as I understand he is also a tour guide. I found the location also to be excellent. While it's not located in what is considered a "hot neighborhood," you are a three minute walk from the Canal Street Streetcar which will get you to the entrance of the French Quarter in about 15 minutes for $1.25 or $3 for an all day pass. There's a Whole Foods about 4 blocks away as well as a coffee roaster (Hey Coffee) and a great bagel/sandwich shop called Flour Moon Bagels next door where I got breakfast each morning. I also signed up for the bike share system and went for a ride along the nearby greenway. If you are looking to be in a quieter area with local amenities and easy access to the hot spots, you will not regret staying at Thomas' place. I would definitely stay here again.
