I would highly recommend staying at Emily and Mikes place! My husband and I stayed for a whole week and got to know the NOLA area pretty well. Emily greeted us with a King Cake and lots of friendly tips when we arrive and really made us feel at home. The area is very safe and walkable during all hours and about a 5 minute walk to the Canal Street car that takes you everywhere you want to go. We walked everywhere.... there’s a local Mexican restaurant Juan’s also about a 5 minute walk near the street car that’s great if you want to stay local (we went 3 times!) The house was great and perfect for what we needed. We also had 2 other family members join us for 2 nights of our stay and they said that the pull out couch was comfy as well.... we will definitely be back to stay here! Thanks so much Emily!
