Staying a Michael's house enabled us to have a fantastic New Orleans experience. We enjoyed the period character and charm of the house which is literally minutes from French street. French street is lined with restaurants and bars that abound in the local live music scene ( we liked French street more than Bourbon street). The tram station is a short walk away that connects you to the French Markets and New Orleans. The accommodation was private, clean and tourist friendly. Michael's hospitality made our stay very pleasant. Recommend.
