It was hard to leave Adrienne's beautiful home. Adrienne and her husband are warm, cheerful and interesting hosts.

Upon my arrival, Adrienne made me a cup of Irish tea which really hit the spot. Adrienne will put you at ease and make you feel like her home is also your home.

That evening, after a day of work (I was on a business trip rather than a vacation), I slept like a rock on my comfortable and cozy bed. I awoke early with my batteries fully re-energized, and strolled around the neighborhood, admiring the gorgeous homes (one of which is owned by Sandra Bullock, just a block away), and savoring the peace of the quiet, tree-lined streets.

This oasis of calm is merely a 5-minute walk from the St Charles Trolley Line, which I rode into downtown for my business conference for a mere $1.25. The ride is no more than 10 to 15 minutes. I also rode the trolley in the other direction, to the end of the line, beyond Tulane University. Lovely views for the entire ride.

In short, I loved the home, the hosts and the location. I will certainly stay here again on my next trip to New Orleans.
