Merlin's place was perfect for visiting New Orleans. The Bywater neighborhood is perfect for walking or biking and is close enough to the quarter that you can have a night out and get home safe and take a cab without it being too expensive. Merlin's kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything you need to cook a nice meal. The front porch was a great place to sit and relax and I loved the way the house was furnished. Strong AC , very clean, Nice shower. With 2 big bedrooms i't s perfect for a family or a group of anywhere from 2 -4. I would def stay again. Merlin made sure that I got in easily and if I needed anything he was very good at communicating.
