Francoise is very welcoming (as is her gorgeous tiny dog), and an interesting and gracious host. I've been comfortable and happy staying with her. The room is spacious, with a working desk and tellie, its own bath, tall ceilings. The decorations are scrumptious, with warm colors and textiles. The location was perfect for me, and would be perfect for anyone wanting to stay near Magazine St. (half block away) or near Audobon Park, Tulane, the uptown area. I would recommend 'New Orleans with a Caribbean Touch' to anyone wanting a positive experience in this city.
