We had a nice stay in an authentic, historical home, exactly the type of place one should stay if visiting a city like New Orleans. Our host left beers and water for us on the fridge (thank you), but the nice thing about the location was there was a convenience store half a block away, and a really good place for coffee only a two blocks away. So, if you wanted that morning boost of caffeine before walking into the mayhem of the French Quarter, you had a great place to go. The other nice thing about the house was its not right in the middle of the French Quarter, so it wasn't noisy at all, yet it was an easy walk to all the "action". All in all, it was a lovely place. The only thing missing was a hair dryer, but that was a small sacrifice to make for such a magical place.
