Engine Twenty-Four Guest House, New Orleans

My partner and I stayed there in August 2007 along with a friend who had his own room. We all enjoyed our stay there, which lasted a week. The earlier said this is a gay neighborhood. This is not strictly true as it is pretty mixed in terms of residents and nightlife. I agree with the other review about the stairs (the bed us in a loft area). We like to watch TV at night and this is impossible with the TV down and the bed up. The place is very convenient to the lower Quarter and Faubourg Marigny and Bywater. The latter two are real neighborhoods with beautiful architecture, good local restaurants and friendly somewhat Bohemian people. This is a totally different way to experience New Orleans. After awhile you start feeling like a native in the small cafes and pubs.
