We stayed with Jo for a weekend during this past jazz festival. We had a great time and would definitely recommend Jo's place to anyone going to NOLA. Here are some highlights:

Host: Jo is a very warm and welcoming host. She gave us the tour of the place and made us feel at home right away. She even offered coffee, tea, and fruit to us.

House: the frenchmen house is lovely. It is very centrally located - just a short walk to the main strip on frenchmen street and just immediately outside of the french quarter. It was nice because we could walk to the busy areas but the house is just far enough that we were not disturbed by the noise. the rooms are very clean and the decorations were very trendy. The only potential issue would be the single bathroom in the house but we all made it work, even with 6 girls in the two rooms.

Other: there is a lovely back yard which is very quaint. we spent a bit of time out there in the evenings before heading out. Jo has a cute lab called Star who was very friendly as well as 2 cats. We kept our room door closed whenever we were not at home so they did not enter and there were no issues. There is wifi at the house and it works really well in the living room. The signal is weaker in the bedrooms.

All in all, we had an amazing time in NOLA and Jo was an excellent host. We would stay with her again if we come back to New Orleans.

Cheers
