Adrienne was an outstanding hostess, extremely responsive, and her two sweet as pie pups were excellent, mellow ambassadors too. Her home is well situated in the Garden District nestled among other stately homes, and it is within convenient walking distance of the streetcar as well as shops and restaurants on Magazine Street. Parking was also very good. The room itself was decorated with all of the character one could hope for and more - loved the large gator stuffed animal, comfy reading chair, and the boundless books. I also enjoyed the wonderful balcony. As someone who is not used to the Southern heat and humidity, I appreciated that the air conditioning worked well, and she additionally had a fan in the room to fine tune the temperature. If you are hoping for a vacuum sealed chain room, this is not the place for you, but if you want local flavor to burn, check it out.
