Michael and Chad's place was a perfect place to stay for our visit to New Orleans. For our first trip, we decided to stay a few places in the city to get a wider experience, and this neighborhood was our favorite. We walked to restaurants, bars, shops, and City Park and the art museum. When we wanted to go to other neighborhoods we mostly took a car; although there is a bus it was a quick drive to the Quarter and the Garden District. The neighborhood was quiet and very charming.
Beyond being happy with the neighborhood, the host home was wonderful. It is a one bedroom loft with a full kitchen and bathroom. Michael and Chad stocked it with all of the normal amenities, like a fully stocked kitchen, many blankets, towels, toiletries, a TV. But they also had so much more, like Bluetooth music devices, a record player, board games, books, drinks and snacks. The home is in the backyard of the main home and feels very private, and like the rest of the neighborhood is very charming. Michael was so helpful in orienting us to the city, giving tips, and just chatting. We also met their adorable dogs, a definite plus to my stay. If I go back to New Orleans, I will definitely go back to Michael and Chad's place.
