We stayed with Georgia during the French Quarter festival. While we enjoyed getting down to the Quarter for some great music and food, I think we preferred being in the Garden District and relaxing in Georgia's beautiful home. This is a convenient location just a few blocks from the famous St. Charles streetcar (although we actually walked down to the French Quarter the first day) and the stunning historic homes that line St. Charles Ave. There are several breakfast places within a block or two and plenty of great restaurants. We had the best dinner experience at Maya's just down the street. We like to walk and take in the scenery, so we opted out of the festival the second morning and walked down to Audubon Park. Georgia's house is beautiful, comfortable, and allows guests to experience a little authentic old New Orleans charm in a cozy, not-touristy neighborhood setting. We also loved Rosie the dog and the cats! Unfortunately we never got to meet Georgia (her friend let us in) but we never lacked for a thing and felt right at home. Would definitely recommend Georgia
