Gladys was a wonderful host. She answered my many questions quickly. My 2 cousins and I spent 5 days at her place and loved it. Plenty of space, safe neighborhood, close to Canal street car which was a big help since we didn't rent a car. Kitchen was well equipped for heating things up but could use a few more items of you really wanted to cook. Mandina's restaurant was 4 blocks away and our dinner was delicious. Neyow's was a few blocks the other direction and again, was delicious. The carrot souffle was amazing. The beds were extremely comfortable and the showers wonderful. The towels were fluffy. It was nice to sit on the porch too. Definitely worth staying at Gladys's place.
