Del's place was perfect for our trip. It's in a nice spot that is walkable to Magazine Street and a lot of other restaurants and bars in Uptown as well as close to main attractions like Commander's Palace, Lafayette Cemetery No 1, and all of the beautiful garden house mansions. The french Quarter is just a quick car ride away.
The house itself is very nice and it's apparent that Del has put a lot of thought into making the different suites have personality and charm. Toiletries and amenities were as described and we felt very well taken care of during our stay. Del was extremely responsive and was always there to help out.
Finally, if you don't know much about Jazz, obviously this is the city to learn but also know that Del, in addition to being a wonderful host, is a huge deal. He and his family are essentially jazz royalty. I just happened to be in town during JazzFest and was extremely lucky to get to see him play with his brothers and father. If he's got a gig while you're in town, definitely go. Even if you know nothing about jazz, you'll enjoy a great concert.
