Beverly's place is a joy to visit!
Her furnishings are comfortable, and the house itself is delightful and well-positioned for easy walks to the French Quarter (20-25 minutes), or to the river and parks. The surrounding area is full of places to grab a bite of something fabulous or explore the works of local artists and artisans.
Beverly herself is a gracious host. She and her furry assistants are welcoming, accommodating, and attentive to your needs as a guest. Her responses were prompt, her suggestions for places of interest were excellent, and she's full of great conversation about the area and local goings-on.
I'm not a smoker, so I can't really speak to her policy in that regard, and I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so I didn't really make use of those amenities, but what I did experience during my stay was lovely.
I would definitely stay with her again on a future NOLA trip!
