Leesaw and Chad were welcoming & friendly, and provided helpful guidance on where to go & what to see, taking me on a quick local tour to get groceries on my first evening The house was very clean, elegant, and artfully decorated with all manner of interesting objects: the bedroom had an attached bathroom, solely for the use of guests, which added to the feeling of privacy. Kentucky St. is an easy fifteen minute cycle ride from the French Quarter, through the enchanting & colourful Bywater district, if you’re not side-tracked by the friendly locals - the area has a quiet, laid-back feel, away from the tourist bustle, and bike is by far the best option for going into town. The Mississippi and Industrial Canal Levees are just around the corner for scenic evening walks. If you’re going to Café Du Monde, get there super-early, don’t wait at The French Market stand for the street car, it doesn’t leave from there until August, and try the pizzas at the Mardi Gras Zone supermarket on Royal St.! After California, it took me a while to adjust, but I left having really enjoyed my stay, and sad to leave Kane – thanks L & C.
