After staying at Tom's place, we felt right at home in the neighborhood and were greeting the neighbors whenever we went out! Tom is a wonderful host..................friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, but never intrusive! The apartment is well furnished and had everything we needed and then some! The location is great.............two blocks from the Canal Street streetcar and a short ride to the French Quarter. Lots of restaurants within walking distance as well a local grocery and drug store. We look forward to our return.
