Thomas is a great communicator and, well before we arrived, made sure that we could find his place and was there to welcome us when we arrived. He gave us a tour of the house - which immediately made us feel like we were home! - as well as a number of detailed maps and drawings with information about the area, how to walk to places of interest, where to go for breakfast or coffee, and where to pick up the tram or bus. He gave us a great suggestion where to go to listen to some awesome music!
Thomas is an excellent host. It was nice to know he was nearby if needed him, and he always checked whether we needed anything before he had to head out himself. He adjusts to changes easily and is super accommodating.
And we had great neighbors! We had several conversations with them, when we were on our way in or out.
This is definitely a home where I will come back to whenever I go back to New Orleans.
