If you want to be dainty and avoid some more of the genuine awesomeness that is New Orleans, go stay in the Quarter or in Marigny, etc. However, if you want an amazing host, a genuine feel for where you are visiting, and much less noise (no noise at Clayton's actually; I slept like a baby, and worked remotely during the day w/o distraction), then book his home. To top it off, he brought me a full tin of freshly made seafood one afternoon. You may not be lucky enough to get crabs, crawfish, shrimp, etc., BUT you will get the same kind of warm welcome and treatment I did, I'm sure!
