We chose to rent a house in New Orleans instead of a hotel for the convention we attended. We walked to the convention center in the morning. And, we definitely had a much better time in NOLA by staying in this lovely home. We got a real feel of the NOLA; we would stay here again in a heartbeat. This home is absolutely lovely and so comfortable. The home is within a few blocks to great coffee shops and juice bar. And, a short drive (minutes) to wonderful restaurants.
