Devon was a great host -- he was warm and friendly and welcomed us into his home. He also recommended activities and places to eat in the city--he keeps an extensive catalouge of brochures/information about tours, sightseeing, and restaurants. His home is not in the French Quarter or any other traditional tourist area, which he freely admits. I would recommend an Uber to and from his home after dark. However, during daylight it is only a 15 minute walk to the New Orelans Amtrak/Greyound station which is the starting point for the newest streetcar line (#49, Rampart-St. Claude) that will take you to the French Quarter and Canal Street. Service operates every 20 minutes and a day pass is $3.00 (have exact cash ready to pay the motorman, or buy online through New Orleans RTA mobile app). You can also walk down the street he lives on to the historic St. Charles Streetcar which will take you to the Garden District.
