We spent a week at Julia's lovely place and things couldn't have been better. Communication went smoothly, it was nice to know she was just next door if we needed anything, and oh, did I mention the place itself? Gorgeous mixture of contemporary and vintage details, a lush garden out back, and a terrific kitchen for cooking. Top that all off with the great location - one of the nicest houses on one of the nicest streets - and we will surely try to get her place when we come back to NOLA again (and we definitely will!).
