Miriam has a wonderful place! Its not really walking distance from the French Quarter although taxis are relatively easy to get. She met with me briefly when I arrived but then left me alone for the rest of my stay, making it clear that if I wanted anything I just had to ask. The area seems a little dodgy but I never felt unsafe whilst I stayed here. It is excellent value for money too as I felt lost in the huge rooms! If I come back to New Orleans I would definitely stay with Miriam. Thank you for such an enjoyable time!
