We had a wonderful time in Larraine’s house, very close to the Mississippi levee. Larraine provided us with a lot of information before our trip and also during our stay. The B&B is a very nice (part of a) typical wooden house in a neighbourhood that has been severely struck by Katrina and since then is being rebuilt house by house. The house has a little veranda, two sleeping rooms in which the four of us (we went with our grown up children) have slept very well in the great beds.
Every evening at sunset we went to the levee some steps away to sit and watch over the river and the Nola skyline.
We had a car, which helped us to be more mobile, because there is only one restaurant in the neighbourhood. However, if you want you can also take a bus to the French Quarter or even better to Frenchmen Street where we went for dinner several times.

Whenever you go to New Orleans do stay at Larraines house. An absolute recommendation.
