If you want to experience the real New Orleans, well, you need to go to Steve and Carmen's house in the Bywater quarter. Their house, fully furnished, clean and surrounded by an authentic neighborhood, will let you relax if you need rest (the porch is great). Having some beers in the bars close to the house or buy some food in the shop around the corner will be also quick and easy. If you want to have fun, a five minutes taxi to Frenchmen Street (6/7 dollars), to Bourbon Street (10 dollars) or to Magazine Street (15/20 dollars) will be easy to find by phone. You can also walk in the safe neighborhood straight to the French Quarter and discover the beautiful By water and Marigny quarters.

Steve and Carmen will give you full privacy but if you need some tips for visits, restaurants, etc, they will surely help you, so don't hesitate to contact them!
