My husband and I, along with another couple stayed at Ninh's place for the week of New Years. Upon arrival we were greeted by a nice bottle of champagne courtesy of Ninh, great touch. The home is beautiful. Spotlessly clean, chicly decorated, perfectly laid out and very comfortable. There is a great little market (Conseco's) as well as coffeehouse, wine shop & neighborhood bar just a short walk away through a charming neighborhood. The French Quarter, Garden District etc., etc., are only about 10 minutes away via car. We had a wonderful time and felt very welcome & taken care of by our host, so much so we did not want to leave
