Our hostess, Kristin, made us feel so very welcome. It was a warm day, and she made sure the cottage was cooled so that it would be comfortable for us. She offered any assistance if needed for getting around, restaurants, etc. The cottage was lovely. We had everything we needed including a phonograph with wonderful records. Everything was clean and welcoming. The refridgerator was stocked with so many wonderful things. Soda, bottled water, flavored water, beer, wine, milk and condiments. She also had apples, oranges and bananas available. The cottage was as pretty as the picture. The outdoor garden/patio was just beautiful and a great place to relax before or after activities. The neighborhood was great. We were literally 1 house off of St. Charles Ave. where the trolley/streetcar runs 24/7 and takes you to the French Quarter which is not far away at all. Kristin gave us her number and let us know she was available for anything we might need. We go to New Orleans every year for a family reunion and I would certainly love to stay at Kristin's place again.
