Alissa and Mike offer an amazing spot for some authentic NOLA exploration and shenanigans. The house itself is an absolute gem - well stocked and decorated, clean, and many thoughtful touches. Mike went above and beyond to correspond and recommend where to focus on itinerary. I would 100 percent trust any recommendations provided by these amazing hosts.
Do not miss: Alma Cafe for brunch, Studio Be for art, N7 for a snack or dinner, Bacchanal for wine and music, and Vaughn's or BJ's for brass bands and sea shanties. All within walking distance.
f you're feeling up to it, you can easily walk down to the park along the river and walk to the FQ. Otherwise, it's a 5 minute Uber ride. But honestly we enjoyed our time in Bywater, Marigny, and Treme much more than in the FQ.
If you want the perfect base camp to experience all the amazing food, culture, and history of this unique city, you need to stay here.
HOT TIP: Check out All About Dat Tours if you're looking for the real real (you do know that NOLA was the largest slave port in the United States, right?). I can't imagine there being a better walking tour in the city.
