Tom's place is great so close to local restaurants and city park, the streetcar is nice and close so getting anywhere in town is very easy. Tom is great to communicate with and very helpful, left us a few things in the fridge to get started and lots of information about where to go and what to see. Loved that his place is far enough away from the French quarter that you can get away and enjoy some quiet but if you want to do down to the quarter it's only about 15 minutes on the streetcar.
