If you're looking for a quiet, quaint, off the beaten track place to stay that is safe, clean and friendly, Arabi, and Chris' place, is a great spot! We were a party of 4 and each had our own place to sleep. Beds were comfortable and all the comforts of home were available to us... including complimentary beverages!
A 12-15$ Uber ride takes you pretty much everywhere you want to go in terms of main attractions. The neighborhood is extremely quiet but if you're willing to venture out a bit you can hit up the local Old Arabi Bar, which is like stepping back in time a few decades, including amazing hospitality by the locals... hat off to Missy the bartender - she is the most friendly and welcoming bar maid I have ever met! There is also an AMAZING little restaurant which served up the BEST meal I have ever eaten and the price was just right. The Kitchen Table is an absolute must visit if you stay here or even if you want to get away from the traditional fare the city offers.
Chris was an amazing host and was very responsive, particularly when one of the ladies' in our group tripped in a pothole in the French Quarter and broke her ankle... he provided timely responses and suggestions re: hospitals, take-out, etc. and generally checked in to see how she was doing. He met us upon our arrival and spent time chatting about the local environment and history... an all around great guy!
I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
