We stayed at Emma's Gentilly home for two nights. Our quarters (private bed and bath) were clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the lovely morning goodies that Emma prepared for us. Emma gave great tips for local activities and food stops, and was very friendly and kind. We ended up driving to downtown from Gentilly, but bus lines are available. We loved strolling around Magazine Street, picnicking in City Park, and listening to music on Frenchman St.
Note that Emma has a darling daughter and a dog, and that sometimes young kids and animals cry or bark off cue; we didn't mind at all, but others might.
Would stay again should we ever visit NoLa in the future.
