Lucky enough to visit New Orleans for a three-week stay during Mardi Gras season, and Carol's house was terrific. Quiet for night sleeping and daytime work, with good wifi in the living room (had to use my phone as a wifi hotspot when trying to work in the back courtyard -- guessing this happens a lot with shotgun houses, and it wasn't a genuine issue for us). Walked for miles in every direction, day and night, and felt perfectly safe. Good access to bus routes. Didn't do too much cooking, but the kitchen was well-stocked and I used the oven, stovetop and microwave at different times to reheat all the restaurant leftovers -- everything was in good order. We needed both AC and heat thanks to winter weather and everything worked fine. Carol went above/beyond with recommendations and stashing our bags after checkout. When friends joined us for a long weekend, there was plenty of space for all, and a big enough coffeepot, too.
