It's always good when the information you read and the pictures you see in the listing match your experience upon arrival. This was true with Kristen's place. It was clean and well cared for with amenities and location as described. My biggest suggestion for improvement is a new mattress that provides more support. I was planning to spend a good part of the winter getting to know NO without a car and location was very important. I was within easy walking distance of several bus stops that could take me to different parts of the city, Magazine Street, which is a several mile stretch of restaurants and shops, and a grocery store and two drug stores. (Also close, but not too close, to a major parade route for Carnival season.) Kristen was readily available by text or e-mail whenever I had a question or concern and she responded quickly, for example, when the promised hair dryer went missing or the Wifi gave me a problem. All was solved. Kristen's place is in the historic and interesting transitional neighborhood of the Irish Channel. This means some homes are being beautifully restored, others not so much. All in all Kristen's place made a great base from which to explore NO and Kristen was a welcoming and responsive host.
