Stayed at Lee's with my girlfriend during our week visit to New Orleans. To say it was perfect would be an understatement. Not only is Lee a fabulous, thoughtful host, her place is beautiful. Set in a residential area by Bayou St. John, there are shops, restaurants, bars, and transport links (street car) within a 5 min walking distance.
City Park is also extremely close and definitely worth a visit.
Staying here truly felt like we had a home in New Orleans and will be staying here again when we return!! Couldn't recommend Lee's place enough and guarantee that you will not be disappointed!!
