Kay was a great host, very friendly and helpful. She lives in the other half of the duplex, so she was able to quickly help with anything we needed. The neighborhood is a couple blocks from Saint Charles street and a few more from a cute downtown area in the garden district on camp st./magazine st. We got bikes at a-musing bikes for about $100 for our weeklong visit, and mostly biked everywhere- French quarter, bourbon, Frenchman st, holly grove, treme. Enjoy!
