What a beautiful home and what a lovely host! Patrick lives next to the property, so he is easy to get hold of and has loads of tips on the area. The place was sparkling clean, loads of fresh towels, a washer/dryer, even a decent hair dryer! You can park in the driveway which is good because there is not a lot of space on the street. We took the street car to the French Quarter (a 5-block walk i.e. 10 minutes) which was a lot of fun for our 2 toddler boys. A couple weeks before our stay a friend told us he'd never stay in that area as it was unsafe so we were a little anxious but this was totally not true. We felt very welcome, walked the streets at night with our toddlers and never felt unsafe. To the contrary - everyone says a friendly hello. We'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting New Orleans.
