We loved staying at Bettina’s house. We didn’t get a chance to meet her, but she was great to communicate with. The space is exactly like the photos - a beautiful, old house in a residential neighbourhood with lots of great little bars and restaurants. And a bouldering gym, which was awesome for us since we love climbing. The space was cute and comfortable. We both really liked the shower. It’s about a 20-30 minute walk to the French quarter, which we didn’t mind at all as we love walking, and there were gorgeous houses and some other things to see on the walk. My only spot of advice, which is mentioned in a few other comments, is to bring some ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. The train went by a couple of time an hour during the week and made it difficult to sleep the first night, but we picked up some ear plugs at CVS and were fine the rest of the trip. If you like beer, start your night at Junction, across St Claude! The bartender might be up for letting you in on some more hidden gems in the neighbourhood.
