Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Roger & Rico's Native New Orleans.
Location: Their location in the Bywater is within easy walking distance to anywhere you'd want to go -- Frenchman Street, Bourbon Street, and the Warehouse District. You can actually do a really enjoyable run all the way down Royal to Canal if you're into that kind of thin. Their area of the Bywater is very pedestrian friendly, and you will not need a car (although if you have one, like I did, you will likely not have any trouble finding safe parking). Additionally, it was very easy to get a cab to come pick us up when we were too lazy (or it was too late) to walk.
Hosts: Roger & Rico were wonderful hosts. Everything was very seamless from the get go. They promptly responded to my rental request and were willing to help in any way possible to make my stay more enjoyable. They even left me and my friend beer, cheese, baguettes, and HOMEMADE JAM! when we arrived (which was well welcomed after a long travel day). As someone who used to live in New Orleans, their Welcome Packet is SPOT ON. They supply all linens (a plus) and there are two bathrooms - one en suite and one separate - which makes things so much easier. As previous reviewers have noted, their apartment is HUGE - there's a full dining room, kitchen, living room, and bedroom. They also have an iPod on a stereo dock (it's the little touches).
I would absolutely recommend Roger & Rico's Native New Orleans for any New Orleans vacation, and I will definitely be contacting them when I need to be in New Orleans further.
