We spent a week at Michael’s place, arriving on Christmas and leaving New Year’s Day. It was our quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of NOLA. Michael was responsive and we had a lovely time. There were other people staying in units around the courtyard we shared but everyone was friendly. The location is within walking distance of and we always felt safe walking to and from the Quarter. French Street is very close and there are lots of cafes near Michael’s place and a grocery store within walking distance. You truly are in a neighborhood and get to feel what it might be like to live in NOLA. It worked well for our family gathering.
