I'm not sure there's anything to say that hasn't already been said. Do yourself a favor and stay here! The neighborhood is gorgeous, especially the nearby homes on Ursulines (one block away) and Esplanade. Mac's suggestions of what to do/where to go were always spot on, and we had the chance to meet him briefly while he was passing out candy on the front porch for Halloween! My lady and I seriously considered making him an offer to buy his house, though I highly doubt he would sell. The amount of love and attention he has invested into the place can't possibly have a dollar amount attached to it.
The neighbors were also another underrated treat. Very kind people all around. And don't forget to take advantage of the amazing kitchen! Also, I'm not sure if it's on Mac's radar, but there's this glorious place nearby called Buttermilk Drop Bakery, which has delicious donuts/apple fritters and the most incredible biscuit sandwiches you've ever had.
Uber/Lyft to most parts of the city (including the French Quarter) tends to run about $9 + tip. Don't forget to tip your drivers, and the musicians!
