If you are looking for a good value while you explore New Orleans, staying at Kristofer's is a great option. While his place is not walking distance of restaurants or tourist sites, it is a nice place to escape the noise of the French Quarter. Also, a good way to avoid the high hotel and parking rates so prevalent in New Orleans. As a bonus, Kristofer is a musician who is very knowledgeable about places to enjoy music; we enjoyed hearing him play at the Bombay Club on our last night in New Orleans. And also got a mini-concert when he was practicing while we were around.
