If you're visiting NOLA to experience the joie de vivre that makes it one of the most incredible places, Stephen's beautiful home is your perfect basecamp. With the stylish and comfortable accommodations adequate for 8, you may be tempted to spend a lazy day inside or on the front or back porch. Fight the temptation and explore the Bywater instead! There are so many great places within walking or biking distance: Bacchanal, Bywater Bakery, Elizabeth's, Shake Sugary, Red's Chinese, Vaughn's, St. Roch Market, and Crescent Park, to name just a few. This is not to say that other parts of the city were not very accessible as well -- we could easily find transportation to Jazz Fest, Frenchman Street, Uptown, and the airport and get there quickly whenever we liked. Stephen is a great host, having gone above and beyond to ensure that everything necessary to make a stay at his home easy, pleasant, and comfortable is in place. As a Tulane alum, I'll certainly have occasion again to visit New Orleans, and I would definitely choose Stephen's home again, as well as highly recommend it to others.
