Mimi's place is beautiful. The yard was a wonderful place to have coffee (provided in room) in the morning. The room shares a yard with the rest of the house but has its own entrance; depending on what you feel comfortable with, you can choose to be social or not. Unfortunately, we were not able to meet Mimi (first trip to New Orleans so we stayed out late and slept in late, whoops!) but she was quick to respond when we had a question about check-in. Hopefully we will be able to book Mimi's place again on our next visit!
