The pictures do not do this place justice. It is exquisitely decorated (outside and inside), with an extremely well equipped kitchen. You walk into a sitting room which offers some privacy from the rest of the house. Next down the hall are a bedroom, full bath, a bedroom, comfortable tv room, kitchen and breakfast room. Up a few stairs is a large bedroom with en suite half bath. Down a few steps is a formal dining room , with double doors out to a covered patio. The beds are all quite comfortable.
Communication was easy and fast. There are 2 copies of the host's very informative house manual, which includes recommended restaurants, markets, etc., several of which are an easy walk. The end of the Canal Street Streetcar (City Park/Museum) is a 10 minute walk. The area itself is non-touristy and utterly beautiful, with an old cemetery, Bayou St. John, City Park, and the Art Museum close at hand.
Highly recommended.
