We had a fantastic time staying at Sheila's place. The ferry is even easier and faster than I thought it would be to get to the French Quarter. Algiers is adorable and I loved staying in a neighborhood rather than a more touristy area. Sheila was more than welcoming, answered all our questions, and gave us a ton of tips.
The accommodation was everything I hoped it would be. The decor is perfectly New Orleans themed, and has all the amenities you need. (In New Orleans, you don't need to be cooking your own food!) I highly recommend staying here, and when you do, be sure to set aside some time to just hang out in Algiers, visit Johns Seafood, Consolidation Coffee Shop, and the Crown and Anchor Pub. Don't forget to sit on the porch swing and smell the jasmine!
Thanks, Sheila, we'd love to stay with you again when we return to New Orleans!
