Greg's place is VERY convenient and would be an ideal place to crash for travelers wanting to do all the New Orleans things. While the house isn't quite a home-away-from-home, (kitchen is sparse), Greg is very responsive. He came right over when we smelled gas, and brought me a knife block and cutting board when I noticed there weren't any sharp knives in the kitchen. As he noted, not many people come to New Orleans and stay in and cook. We were traveling with kids, so we were the anomaly. As it was Mardi Gras season, Greg brought us a king cake when he came by with the knives. Much to our chagrin, we had to call him one more time--when we lost the key to the house in the park. Greg was incredibly responsive and very kind. The neighborhood could be a little loud at night (at times), but the neighbors we met were very friendly and kind. The next door neighbor even brought over Mardi Gras trinkets for the kids as soon as we arrived. The house is a shotgun duplex, so you will hear the people next door. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs, but most people in our group slept just fine. Thanks to Greg for his hospitality!
