LIVE LIKE A LOCAL - IN THE HEART OF OLD NEW ORLEANS!

My family and I stayed in this cute house for about a week while I was in town for a conference. The house had everything we needed. It was clean, in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and was convenient to public transportation (#11 bus on Magazine and the St. Charles streetcar). There are tons of great bars and restaurants on Magazine (both east and west of the house). We recommend the N'awlins Jazz Cafe, which served up great food in a fun atmosphere. Guy's Poboy Shop is a little farther uptown on Magazine, but it's worth the hike. Sid was a great host -- he was very responsive before, during, and after our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

As a person who enjoys a quiet sanctuary sometime between dusk and dawn... This location was perfect for taking a short scenic ride up towards the Quarter and back, without having to deal with the touristy craziness that the Quarter provides, especially if I'm trying to get a good night's sleep. I was looking for a location that was just far enough away from the latenight Quarter craziness, but just close enough to travel back and forth via public transportation. And I found it!

The house was very clean, the kitchen was fully functioning, and the owner was very helpful with providing me with web links of fun weekend activities. The neighborhood was very quiet and welcoming. The house itself is quite serene, tucked away in the middle of Garden District, just minutes from St Charles Ave and Magazine St.

If you don't have a car and plan on spending your time floating between this house and say, The French Quarter, this is somewhat easy to accomplish by getting familiar with the streetcar and bus schedules. The bus was approx 20-30 minute and $1.25 ride to the Canal St (the Quarter's edge), which is great considered all the time I could've wasted driving around the Quarter looking for a spot to park, not to mention feeding an expensive hourly meter.

However, if you don't plan on spending too much time in the Quarter but want to see some sites, you're just minutes from Magazine south, and St Charles north. Lots of site-seeing, shopping, and history around there!

Rest assured, I will be coming back to this place for my next trip to New Orleans!

We enjoyed the authentic shotgun double in a clean, secure residential neighborhood only a few blocks from 4 different lines of public transportation including the St. Charles Ave. streetcar. Magazine street is a fascinating variety of antique, retail, cafes, etc. Walking distance from full service grocery store and drug store. Only negative is minimal supply of cooking/dining utensils, pots, etc.
