Georgia was extremely nice about making sure we had all we needed. We had a bit of trouble with the lock initially, and she went out of her way to come by and make sure we got in ok and settled.

The home itself is extremely tasteful, with a full size antique bed in the front and a queen size bed in the middle room. The queen size bed is super soft and cozy, so we had a hard time getting out of it in the mornings.

The kitchen is huge and well appointed, and there's lots of light throughout. The home is very clean, and there's lots of space to stash your things; no elbowing around the host's stuff. There were copious amounts of guidebooks, menu books, and the current local paper for us to look through, and it was super quiet.

We were extremely lucky because the St. Roch market on the corner just opened the week before after being closed for 10 years. The food stalls there are extremely delicious and varied. We chose to walk everywhere, since it's all so close. Another friend who lives in NOLA recommended that we walk in the middle of the smaller streets for safety, but honestly I felt pretty safe on the streets we walked. Kind of use your Spidey senses and don't do dumb things.

There are local buses that go over St. Claude, and that area is becoming slowly gentrified - we joked that it's the new East Bushwick corridor. Just overall, we had a great time, loved our little home, and wished we could have stayed longer.
