Miriam was a very tranquil host who was available anytime you needed her, gave good advice about the city and even locked the door when we forgot. The accommodations were clean comfortable and like Miriam, harmonious. We enjoyed many mornings having breakfast on the porch watching the day unfold in her quiet neighborhood; and were embraced by a friendly nod or wave by the neighbors. The area was centrally located to many activities we enjoyed like city park and the downtown/french quarter area. There was also nearby freeway access for our excursions to surrounding cities. The added surprise for two Whole Food junkies, was there was a store five minutes away. We come to NOLA at least once a year and would definitely consider making Miriam's home our place to stay.
