Where ample doses of quaint and funky meet cleanliness and modernity everywhere that matters - Stepping into this house is a quick intro to New Orleans - music themed pictures, historical posters, artifacts, and personal family photos that suggest how Kevin and Wendy have brought their own warmth to creating this space to share with strangers. It would be difficult to feel a stranger around them for long. But also during a stay, you may learn obscurities about the history of blues and jazz from Kevin, and Wendy may share the significance of the interment of miniature statuary to real estate management. Otis is an undefined bonus - one suspects he is perhaps in charge, but after several days in that remained unclear.||The 'facility' critique is all top marks. A great bed, a great shower, a picture of Memphis Minnie smiling down at me, on a stand in the corner an elegant statuette bedecked with Mardi Gras beads. What more could there be? Privacy with a door that opens to a communal experience, including a superb healthy breakfast. A tip with possibly a double benefit - the back porch roof is best appreciated just before and just after sleeping on the porch swing. It's marvelous!||Of course a feature of a stay here is the ability to park at the curb and then have no need to get in a vehicle again for days. The short walk to the ferry to the Quarter sure, but also within two blocks a choice of coffee shops, a dandy English corner pub and a taco stand that seems to routinely feed the neighborhood, other pubs and establishments a bit further, and for me just aimlessly walking the neighborhood to admire the restored and preserved and sometimes curiously decorated houses, then often walking along the levee in the evening when the French Quarter viewed across the Mississippi actually looks peaceful.||Enough. Book it!
