Staying at Tom’s place truly living like a local. It is a quiet neighborhood but just a leg stretch of a walk to multiple restaurants and several music venues, as well as to the streetcar that will take you to the French Quarter.
Tom is a thoughtful host. He is quick to respond to any questions and leaves nice surprises in the fridge. There are lots of local magazines and guide books to help you explore the city.
Sit on the front porch and chat with the passers by, sunbathe in the private courtyard, cook in the well-equipped kitchen, or head out to City Park, the bayou or the Quarter: you have arrived in a magical part of the real New Orleans.
