This is quite possibly the best place we've ever stayed since we were old enough to travel on our own. The location in Mid-City is perfect - close to City Park (so much to do there!) and the street car for getting into the French Quarter but no drunken revelers to keep us awake. The fact that easy, off-street parking was provided will mean a great deal to anyone who's ever had to pay daily to park at a hotel in the Quarter. The space is beautiful - a great mix of family heirlooms and modern amenities (check out the orange refrigerator and vintage stove!) The fold out couch, which our 10 year old son used, was actually comfortable and he LOVED the Wii, Netflix, and games that were available. The hosts, Kristi and Todd, had three bicycles available which we used to cruise City Park. There are bike lanes all over the city now and we could have biked all the way to the Quarter, to the wine store, to dinner, along Bayou St. John, etc. We enjoyed our time sitting in the courtyard in front of the rental and visiting with the resident pets. We met one of the hosts grown children and their friend who were super friendly and who gave us a great dinner recommendation. We will definitely stay here again and already have a friend asking about it based on a pic we posted to FB.
