Susan is a warm, generous, and very available (without being in your face) host! The location is perfect. I wanted a place that was near the music on Frenchmen St, and it is literally just a couple of blocks away. Yet Susan's place is a quiet sanctuary from all the action. We walked everywhere we needed to go, the French Quarter and Bywater areas, and every time we were coming back from the French Quarter, as we approached the Marigny neighborhood, I began to feel so much better... it is so quiet and peaceful and beautiful and quaint. I can't imagine a better area to stay in, really - if you want to be close but not in the action, I mean. It was perfect. I loved sitting outside in the garden, for coffee in the morning and nightcaps before bed. The fridge/freezer and microwave was very welcome for having groceries and being able to heat up leftover food, make soup, whatever. The bed was very comfortable, and the place had everything I needed. The only downside I could see, and it's not really a downside as much as just an FYI thing, the interior space is a bit cramped. The place packs everything you need into a small space. The shower is small, but really, it's such a wonderful place that I can't complain about a thing. Stay here! You won't regret it. I hope to stay with Susan next time I am in town, for sure. She is so hospitable and helpful, too!
