Micheal's place was great. We were traveling with our 13 and 15 year olds so location and setting was very important to us. Micheal's place is 1 block from Frenchman Street which is one of the few places kids can go to see Jazz. We probably saw 15 different groups play. We purchased tickets to Snug Harbor, had dinner and Jazz at Three Muses, went to several free shows at 30/-90, Bamboulas and Maison. There were also two shows right on the street! The kids loved it as did the adults.
The neighborhood was safe and the apartment was quiet. We could also walk everywhere including the French Quarter, aquarium and downtown. Michael also had a great guide book to help us along. We had a fantastic trip and would recommend this place to anyone, with or without children. The apartment was spotless, had plenty of towels, nice beds, comfortable furniture and tons of cooking supplies however we ate out every night!
