Talmadge was an excellent host. The home had every amenity you could think of, including bananas for me! There was food, water, juice, etc in the refrigerator. If you forgot anything it was there.
Her response to any questions was quick and she provided information on where to eat, something we asked about.
Each room had an air conditioner which was helpful as it did get hot.
We could have been closer to the French Quarter, but all things considered it was a perfect setting.
