I would recommend Paul's place and I would stay there again. The neighbourhood is quite lively and can be noisy, but the house is very secure with a locked gate and 2 dogs keeping an eye on things. Being completely self-contained makes it easy to come and go. It is easy walking distance to the French Quarter but being a lady on my own I only felt comfortable walking during the day. The accommodation itself is very sweet and comfortable, and Paul has given a lot of thought how to make his guests feel welcome and have access to anything you might need. I found him very friendly and responsive, and staying at his place was a welcome relief from a not-so-pleasant experience with a different host. Paul's southern hospitality completely saved my NOLA experience.
