Derek's house is a wonderful option for a family visit to New Orleans, especially if you want to stay in a quiet area. My wife, daughter, and I stayed there with my parents and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house is well appointed and very kid friendly. Communication with Derek couldn't have been better. Aunt Arleen next door is incredibly nice and helpful. The outdoor patio and proximity to City Park was ideal, too.
All the main attractions are easily accessible by car, public transit, or a long walk if you want to explore. There are many nice cafes and restaurants a short walk from the house. Safe and beautiful neighborhood. I highly recommend Derek's house and would gladly stay there again when visiting New Orleans.
